Is It Time For 2009 Lexus IS250 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2009 Lexus IS250, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your IS250 bounces, leans 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 IS250, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your IS250 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus IS250 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus IS250 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 Lexus IS250 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your IS250’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus IS250 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2009 Lexus IS250’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 IS250 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my IS250's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 IS250 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Lexus IS250 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your IS250’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Lexus IS250 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus IS250 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 IS250 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 IS250 shocks feel like? Worn IS250 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your IS250 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your IS250 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
