Is It Time For 1994 Lexus GS300 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1994 Lexus GS300, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your GS300 jolts, pulls 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 1994 Lexus GS300 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus GS300 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus GS300 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1994 Lexus GS300 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 1994 Lexus GS300’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus GS300 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1994 Lexus GS300’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1994 GS300 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 GS300 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus GS300 power steering fluid 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’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lexus GS300 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus GS300 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 GS300 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GS300'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 do I know if I have worn Lexus GS300 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GS300 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GS300 travels over minor bumps.
