Is It Time For 2020 Lexus LS500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2020 Lexus LS500, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LS500 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2020 Lexus LS500 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 LS500 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus LS500 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Lexus LS500 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2020 Lexus LS500 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lexus LS500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Lexus LS500 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2020 LS500 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 LS500? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus LS500 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 LS500 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus LS500 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LS500 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my LS500 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your LS500 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 LS500 are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LS500 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LS500 travels over minor bumps.
