Is It Time For 2014 Lexus GS450h Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2014 Lexus GS450h, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your GS450h bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2014 Lexus GS450h in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Lexus GS450h suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus GS450h Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Lexus GS450h suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2014 Lexus GS450h shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus GS450h shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Lexus GS450h suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 GS450h Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GS450h's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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? 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 GS450h power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your GS450h’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus GS450h bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GS450h 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 GS450h tilt forward 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus GS450h shocks? Worn GS450h shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your GS450h might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your GS450h shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
