Is It Time For 2009 Lexus GS450h Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2009 Lexus GS450h, 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 GS450h jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2009 Lexus GS450h in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GS450h suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus GS450h’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 GS450h Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Lexus GS450h’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2009 Lexus GS450h shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Lexus GS450h shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 Lexus GS450h suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Lexus GS450h Steering & Suspension

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus GS450h? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus GS450h 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 GS450h is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lexus GS450h bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my GS450h to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your GS450h 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.
  • What do worn Lexus GS450h shocks feel like? If your GS450h 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 GS450h might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
