Is It Time For 1999 Lexus LX470 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1999 Lexus LX470, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your LX470 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 Lexus LX470, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus LX470

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 Lexus LX470 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 Lexus LX470’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus LX470 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 Lexus LX470’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 LX470 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. 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 LX470? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Lexus LX470 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your LX470 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Lexus LX470 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your LX470 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my LX470 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your LX470 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus LX470 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your LX470 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your LX470 travels over minor bumps.
