Does Your 2006 Lexus LS430 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2006 Lexus LS430, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your LS430 feels bouncy, leans 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 2006 Lexus LS430 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, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus LS430’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 LS430 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2006 Lexus LS430’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2006 Lexus LS430’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, 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 2006 Lexus LS430 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2006 LS430 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 LS430? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 LS430 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus LS430 bounce so much? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your LS430 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus LS430 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LS430 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LS430 travels over minor bumps.
