Does Your 2014 Lexus GX460 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 Lexus GX460, 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 GX460 jolts, 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 2014 Lexus GX460, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your GX460 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus GX460 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Lexus GX460 suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Lexus GX460 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lexus GX460 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Lexus GX460 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 GX460 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my GX460's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus GX460 power steering fluid 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 is my Lexus GX460 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your GX460 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 GX460 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your GX460 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 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.
