When To Get 2003 Lexus ES300 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2003 Lexus ES300, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your ES300 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 Lexus ES300, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus ES300’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus ES300 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2003 Lexus ES300’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your ES300’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lexus ES300 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Lexus ES300 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2003 ES300 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus ES300? 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 the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus ES300 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your ES300 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Lexus ES300 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus ES300 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 ES300 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your ES300'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus ES300 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your ES300 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your ES300 travels over minor bumps.
