Is It Time For 2022 Lexus IS500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2022 Lexus IS500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your IS500 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2022 Lexus IS500 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 IS500 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus IS500

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2022 Lexus IS500 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your IS500’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lexus IS500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2022 Lexus IS500 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.

2022 IS500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus IS500? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus IS500 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your IS500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Lexus IS500 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus IS500 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my IS500 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your IS500 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus IS500 shocks? Worn IS500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your IS500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your IS500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
