When To Get 2002 Lexus LX470 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2002 Lexus LX470, 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 LX470 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Lexus LX470 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your LX470 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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

Your 2002 Lexus LX470’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2002 Lexus LX470 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus LX470 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your LX470’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2002 Lexus LX470 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my LX470's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus LX470? 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.
  • When does Lexus LX470 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 LX470’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus LX470 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 LX470 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my LX470 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus LX470 shocks? Worn LX470 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your LX470 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your LX470 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
