When To Get 2005 Lexus LS430 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2005 Lexus LS430, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your LS430 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Lexus LS430, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 LS430 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 LS430 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2005 Lexus LS430’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Lexus LS430 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Lexus LS430 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Lexus LS430 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2005 LS430 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 LS430? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus LS430 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus LS430 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LS430 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my LS430's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LS430 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 LS430 need replacing? Worn LS430 shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
