When To Get 2016 Lexus CT200h Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Lexus CT200h, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your CT200h feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Lexus CT200h in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your CT200h 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 Lexus CT200h suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus CT200h Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Lexus CT200h’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Lexus CT200h shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus CT200h shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Lexus CT200h’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 CT200h Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my CT200h's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus CT200h? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Lexus CT200h 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 CT200h’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lexus CT200h bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my CT200h to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your CT200h when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus CT200h need replacing? Worn CT200h shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your CT200h might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your CT200h shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
