Does Your 1999 Lexus GS300 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1999 Lexus GS300, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your GS300 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Lexus GS300, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus GS300’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus GS300 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1999 Lexus GS300’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. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Lexus GS300 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lexus GS300 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GS300’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1999 Lexus GS300 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GS300's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus GS300? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Lexus GS300 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your GS300 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Lexus GS300 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GS300 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 GS300's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus GS300 need replacing? 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.
