If it's gone from beyond "annoying" to "serious concern" then it has to be more than that.
I recommend you take the question to XJS forum for advice from members with the same model. Relevant background will help - has this just begun or has it been like this since you acquired the vehicle and is there any evidence of (repaired) accident damage that leads you to believe it may be frame distortion?
A regular cause of unnerving handling on this era Jaguar is worn/ failed front crossmember vee mounts or round bushes.

For technical advice, you should post a question in the relevant model forum which in your case is the XJS forum. We have several very experienced and knowledgeable XJS owners who are rarely beaten by issues on the model.
