Does Your 2018 Lexus IS350 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2018 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. Perhaps your IS350 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2018 Lexus IS350 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your IS350 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Lexus IS350 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus IS350 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Lexus IS350’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your IS350’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lexus IS350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 Lexus IS350 suspension 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.

2018 IS350 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my IS350's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how 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 IS350 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Lexus IS350 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your IS350 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my IS350 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your IS350 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus IS350 shocks? 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.
