Is It Time For 2016 Lexus GX460 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 Lexus GX460, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your GX460 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Lexus GX460 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 GX460 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2016 Lexus GX460’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Lexus GX460 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Lexus GX460 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Lexus GX460 suspension 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.

2016 GX460 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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 GX460? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus GX460 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your GX460’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Lexus GX460 bounce so much? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus GX460 shocks? Worn GX460 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your GX460 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your GX460 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
