Does Your 2020 Lexus LS500h Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2020 Lexus LS500h, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your LS500h feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2020 Lexus LS500h in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus LS500h’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus LS500h

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Lexus LS500h’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 LS500h 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 rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lexus LS500h shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 Lexus LS500h’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.

2020 LS500h 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. 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 LS500h? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Lexus LS500h power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your LS500h is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Lexus LS500h bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my LS500h's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LS500h 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus LS500h shocks? Worn LS500h shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LS500h might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LS500h shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
