Some Jaguar XK owners report experiencing an unstable suspension and a bouncy ride on rough roads after replacing low-end brake parts. These issues may stem from problems with the rear suspension system, which could lead to uneven tire wear and indicate the need for replacing shocks or struts, with potential costs ranging from $250 to $1,000. Additionally, some owners find that ensuring proper alignment and condition of suspension components is crucial to prevent further steering or suspension problems. Some have also discovered that resetting the CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension) system by toggling between 'S' and 'D' mode can help alleviate bumpy ride issues without triggering warning lamps. It is advisable for owners to seek professional advice from a Jaguar mechanic or a reputable auto care center to effectively diagnose and resolve these suspension-related concerns.
