Is It Time For 1998 Lexus LS400 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1998 Lexus LS400, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your LS400 bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1998 Lexus LS400 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 parts of your Lexus LS400 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus LS400 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1998 Lexus LS400’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. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1998 Lexus LS400 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus LS400 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Lexus LS400’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1998 Lexus LS400 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LS400'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus LS400? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus LS400 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your LS400’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus LS400 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my LS400 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LS400 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus LS400 are bad? If your LS400 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 LS400 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
