Does Your 1998 Lexus LX470 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1998 Lexus LX470, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your LX470 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 1998 Lexus LX470, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 parts of your Lexus LX470 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 LX470 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1998 Lexus LX470’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 LX470’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lexus LX470 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1998 Lexus LX470’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1998 Lexus LX470 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LX470's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 LX470 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus LX470 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your LX470 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus LX470 bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your LX470 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 LX470 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your LX470 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 LX470 shocks feel like? If your LX470 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your LX470 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
