Is It Time For 2010 Lexus GX460 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2010 Lexus GX460, 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 GX460 bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Lexus GX460 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your GX460 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 GX460’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus GX460 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Lexus GX460 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 getting your 2010 Lexus GX460’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus GX460 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your GX460’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2010 Lexus GX460 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus GX460? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 should I have my Lexus GX460 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Lexus GX460 to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my GX460 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your GX460'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus GX460 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your GX460 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your GX460 travels over minor bumps.
