When To Get 1999 Lexus LS400 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1999 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, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Lexus LS400, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your LS400 suspension system needs repair, 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 Lexus LS400’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LS400 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Lexus LS400 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 limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1999 Lexus LS400 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus LS400 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LS400’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1999 LS400 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus LS400? 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 LS400 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your LS400 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus LS400 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus LS400 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 LS400's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LS400'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 LS400 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LS400 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LS400 travels over minor bumps.
