Is It Time For 2011 Lexus IS350 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2011 Lexus IS350, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your IS350 jolts, pulls 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 2011 Lexus IS350, 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, shock absorbers, 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 problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 Lexus IS350 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 Lexus IS350’s shocks and struts replaced 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. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Lexus IS350’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2011 Lexus IS350 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lexus's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 IS350? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus IS350 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus IS350 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your IS350 to bounce more than usual.
  • 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.
