Does Your 2018 Lexus LC500h Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2018 Lexus LC500h, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LC500h jolts, pulls 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 2018 Lexus LC500h 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus LC500h’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LC500h Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Lexus LC500h suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 LC500h’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus LC500h shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Lexus LC500h’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 LC500h Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Why should my Lexus LC500h 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus LC500h power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your LC500h’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus LC500h bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LC500h to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my LC500h's nose dive down when I hit 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 LC500h shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LC500h feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LC500h travels over minor bumps.
