Does Your 2016 Lexus IS200t Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Lexus IS200t, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your IS200t feels bouncy, leans 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 IS200t in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your IS200t steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus IS200t Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Lexus IS200t’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 IS200t’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus IS200t shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Lexus IS200t’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Lexus IS200t Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my IS200t's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Lexus IS200t 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 the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus IS200t power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your IS200t’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Lexus IS200t to have a bouncy ride? 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 IS200t's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn Lexus IS200t shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your IS200t feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your IS200t travels over minor bumps.
