Does Your 2016 Lexus GS200t Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2016 Lexus GS200t, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your GS200t jolts, sways 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 2016 Lexus GS200t, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GS200t 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 GS200t 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 GS200t Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Lexus GS200t suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Lexus GS200t’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus GS200t shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Lexus GS200t suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Lexus GS200t Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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 GS200t 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Lexus GS200t 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Lexus GS200t to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GS200t 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 GS200t front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your GS200t 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 do I know if I have worn Lexus GS200t shocks? Worn GS200t shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your GS200t might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your GS200t shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
