Does Your 2008 Lexus GS460 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Lexus GS460, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your GS460 bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Lexus GS460 in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your GS460 suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Lexus GS460 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus GS460 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Lexus GS460 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your GS460’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lexus GS460 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GS460’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 GS460 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 should my Lexus GS460 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus GS460 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your GS460 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus GS460 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GS460 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 GS460 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your GS460 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus GS460 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GS460 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GS460 travels over minor bumps.
