Does Your 2014 Lexus ES300h Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2014 Lexus ES300h, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your ES300h jolts, drifts 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 2014 Lexus ES300h in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your ES300h suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus ES300h suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus ES300h Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2014 Lexus ES300h’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 ES300h’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lexus ES300h shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ES300h’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 ES300h Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 ES300h? 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 should I have my Lexus ES300h power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your ES300h is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus ES300h bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your ES300h goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my ES300h front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your ES300h'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 do worn Lexus ES300h shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your ES300h feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your ES300h travels over minor bumps.
