Is It Time For 2002 Lexus IS300 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2002 Lexus IS300, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your IS300 bounces, drifts 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 2002 Lexus IS300, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 your IS300 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 IS300 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2002 Lexus IS300’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2002 Lexus IS300 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 IS300 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Lexus IS300’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2002 IS300 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my IS300's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Lexus IS300 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 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.
  • Does my Lexus IS300 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your IS300 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus IS300 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 IS300 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your IS300 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus IS300 need replacing? Worn IS300 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your IS300 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your IS300 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
