What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's 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 LC500h?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 does Lexus LC500h power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your LC500h is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.

Why does my Lexus LC500h bounce so much?

Excessive bouncing in your Lexus LC500h 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 LC500h front end dip forward when I brake?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your LC500h 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.

What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus LC500h need replacing?

If your LC500h shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your LC500h might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2021 Lexus LC500h Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 Lexus LC500h, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your LC500h bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Lexus LC500h in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus LC500h suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LC500h Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 Lexus LC500h suspension system. 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 2021 Lexus LC500h shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus LC500h shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Lexus LC500h suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
