Is It Time For 2009 Lexus LS460 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2009 Lexus LS460, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your LS460 jolts, pulls 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 2009 Lexus LS460 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, 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 your Lexus LS460’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LS460 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2009 Lexus LS460’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your LS460’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Lexus LS460 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LS460’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 LS460 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 alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Lexus LS460 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does Lexus LS460 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your LS460’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus LS460 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LS460 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my LS460 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LS460 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 do worn Lexus LS460 shocks feel like? Worn LS460 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LS460 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LS460 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
