Does Your 2000 Lexus LS400 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2000 Lexus LS400, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your LS400 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2000 Lexus LS400, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LS400 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Lexus LS400 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. 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 LS400’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus LS400 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Lexus LS400 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2000 LS400 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Lexus LS400 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 LS400 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Lexus LS400 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your LS400 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.
  • Why does my LS400 tilt forward 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus LS400 need replacing? Worn LS400 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LS400 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LS400 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
