When To Get 2017 Lexus RC350 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2017 Lexus RC350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your RC350 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Lexus RC350 in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your RC350 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Lexus RC350’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.

Lexus RC350 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Lexus RC350’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2017 Lexus RC350 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus RC350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Lexus RC350 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.

2017 RC350 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 RC350? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When should I have my Lexus RC350 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your RC350’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus RC350 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 RC350 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my RC350 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your RC350 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus RC350 need replacing? Worn RC350 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your RC350 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your RC350 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
