Is It Time For 2011 Lexus LS460 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 Lexus LS460, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit 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 problems is a good time to bring your 2011 Lexus LS460 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 your LS460 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LS460 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Lexus LS460’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. 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, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Lexus LS460 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Lexus LS460’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 LS460 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LS460's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 LS460? 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.
  • When does Lexus LS460 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus LS460 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 LS460 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my LS460 to dip forward when I apply 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 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.
