Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LS500h's steering and 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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus LS500h?

Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 LS500h 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 LS500h’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my Lexus LS500h 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 LS500h to bounce more than usual.

Why does my LS500h's nose dive down when I hit 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.

How do I know if I have worn Lexus LS500h shocks?

Worn LS500h shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

When To Get 2021 Lexus LS500h Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 Lexus LS500h, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your LS500h bounces, 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 2021 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus LS500h suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus LS500h

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Lexus LS500h’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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your LS500h’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus LS500h shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Lexus LS500h’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
