Is It Time For 1999 Lexus GS400 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Lexus GS400, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your GS400 feels bouncy, pulls 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 1999 Lexus GS400, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your GS400 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus GS400

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 Lexus GS400’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 Lexus GS400’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lexus GS400 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GS400’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1999 GS400 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus GS400? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 GS400 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your GS400 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus GS400 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GS400 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GS400 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GS400'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 GS400 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GS400 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GS400 travels over minor bumps.
