When To Get 2012 Jaguar XKR Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2012 Jaguar XKR, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your XKR bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2012 Jaguar XKR in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your XKR suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Jaguar XKR suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Jaguar XKR Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 Jaguar XKR’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your XKR’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Jaguar XKR shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Jaguar XKR’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 XKR Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my XKR's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar XKR? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Jaguar XKR power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar XKR bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Jaguar XKR might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my XKR front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your XKR's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Jaguar XKR need replacing? If your XKR shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your XKR might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
