Is It Time For 2016 Lexus RC200t Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2016 Lexus RC200t, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your RC200t jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Lexus RC200t in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 parts of your Lexus RC200t suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus RC200t Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Lexus RC200t suspension system. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Lexus RC200t’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Lexus RC200t shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Lexus RC200t suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 RC200t Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RC200t'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.
  • Why should my Lexus RC200t 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 come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus RC200t power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus RC200t 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 RC200t to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my RC200t's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your RC200t 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 RC200t shocks? Worn RC200t shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your RC200t might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your RC200t shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
