Does Your 2016 Lexus RC300 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2016 Lexus RC300, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your RC300 bounces, 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 RC300 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus RC300’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus RC300

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Lexus RC300 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 Lexus RC300’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Lexus RC300 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Lexus RC300 suspension 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.

2016 RC300 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Lexus RC300 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus RC300 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your RC300 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 RC300 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 RC300 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my RC300 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your RC300 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 RC300 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your RC300 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your RC300 travels over minor bumps.
