When To Get 2015 Lexus NX200t Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2015 Lexus NX200t, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your NX200t jolts, sways 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 2015 Lexus NX200t, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel 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 explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your NX200t steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus NX200t Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2015 Lexus NX200t’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2015 Lexus NX200t shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Lexus NX200t shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2015 Lexus NX200t’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2015 NX200t Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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 should my Lexus NX200t get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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.
  • Does my Lexus NX200t 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 NX200t’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus NX200t bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your NX200t 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 NX200t tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your NX200t 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Lexus NX200t shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your NX200t feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your NX200t travels over minor bumps.
