When To Get 2009 Lexus IS F Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2009 Lexus IS F, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your IS F bounces, 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 2009 Lexus IS F, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your IS F suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your IS F 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 IS F Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Lexus IS F’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your IS F’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 IS F shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your IS F’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2009 IS F Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my IS F's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 IS F? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus IS F 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 IS F’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus IS F bouncing so much? 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 IS F's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your IS F 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus IS F shocks? If your IS F shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your IS F might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
