Does Your 2021 Lexus IS300 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Lexus IS300, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your IS300 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Lexus IS300 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus IS300’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus IS300 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Lexus IS300 suspension system. 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 2021 Lexus IS300 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Lexus IS300 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Lexus IS300 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2021 IS300 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus IS300? 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.
  • When does Lexus IS300 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 IS300’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Lexus IS300 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your IS300 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my IS300 to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus IS300 shocks? Worn IS300 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.
