When To Get 2008 Lexus IS350 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2008 Lexus IS350, 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 IS350 jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Lexus IS350 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Lexus IS350’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus IS350 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2008 Lexus IS350’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Lexus IS350 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus IS350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Lexus IS350 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 IS350 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my IS350's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 IS350 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 IS350 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 IS350’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus IS350 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus IS350 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 IS350's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your IS350 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 do worn Lexus IS350 shocks feel like? Worn IS350 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your IS350 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your IS350 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
