When To Get 2011 Lexus IS F Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2011 Lexus IS F, 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 IS F jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2011 Lexus IS F in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus IS F

Your 2011 Lexus IS F’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2011 Lexus IS F shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus IS F shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your IS F’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 IS F Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 should my Lexus IS F get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus IS F bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus IS F might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my IS F's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your IS F 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus IS F are bad? Worn IS F shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
