When To Get 2019 Lexus RC300 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2019 Lexus RC300, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your RC300 jolts, sways 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 2019 Lexus RC300 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Lexus RC300’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus RC300 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 Lexus RC300’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your RC300’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lexus RC300 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2019 Lexus RC300 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2019 RC300 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RC300's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus RC300? 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 the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus RC300 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’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus RC300 bouncing excessively? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • 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.
