Is It Time For 2023 Lexus LS500 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2023 Lexus LS500, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your LS500 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 2023 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your LS500 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus LS500’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus LS500

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Lexus LS500 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your LS500’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus LS500 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2023 Lexus LS500 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2023 Lexus LS500 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LS500's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why should my Lexus LS500 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Lexus LS500 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your LS500 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my LS500's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your LS500's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What do worn Lexus LS500 shocks feel like? Worn LS500 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LS500 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LS500 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
