When To Get 2016 Lexus GS450h Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2016 Lexus GS450h, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your GS450h 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 2016 Lexus GS450h, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your GS450h suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Lexus GS450h’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your GS450h’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lexus GS450h shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Lexus GS450h suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2016 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 tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • 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. 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.
  • Does my Lexus GS450h power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lexus GS450h bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GS450h to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my GS450h tilt forward when I hit 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? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GS450h feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GS450h travels over minor bumps.
