Is It Time For 2016 Lexus LS460 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2016 Lexus LS460, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your LS460 jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 Lexus LS460, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. 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 2016 Lexus LS460’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2016 Lexus LS460’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus LS460 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Lexus LS460’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2016 LS460 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 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. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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 inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your LS460 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Lexus LS460 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus LS460 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my LS460's nose dive down 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.
