Does Your 2017 Lexus ES350 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2017 Lexus ES350, 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. Maybe your ES350 bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 Lexus ES350 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus ES350’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus ES350

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Lexus ES350 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your ES350’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lexus ES350 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ES350’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 ES350 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ES350's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Lexus ES350 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus ES350 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your ES350’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus ES350 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my ES350 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your ES350 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus ES350 are bad? If your ES350 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your ES350 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
