When To Get 2013 Lexus GX460 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2013 Lexus GX460, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your GX460 feels bouncy, sways 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 2013 Lexus GX460, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus GX460’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus GX460

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 Lexus GX460 suspension system. 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 getting your 2013 Lexus GX460’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth 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 checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 GX460 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GX460's steering and 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 GX460? 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.
  • When does Lexus GX460 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? 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’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus GX460 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your GX460 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my GX460 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your GX460 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 do worn Lexus GX460 shocks feel like? 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.
