Is It Time For 2012 Lexus LFA Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2012 Lexus LFA, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LFA bounces, pulls 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 2012 Lexus LFA in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Lexus LFA 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus LFA

Your 2012 Lexus LFA’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your LFA’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus LFA shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LFA’s 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.

Questions About 2012 Lexus LFA Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LFA's steering and 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 LFA? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Lexus LFA 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 LFA’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Lexus LFA to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your LFA 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my LFA to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LFA's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus LFA shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LFA feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LFA travels over minor bumps.
