Is It Time For 2005 Lexus RX330 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2005 Lexus RX330, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your RX330 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2005 Lexus RX330, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your RX330 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus RX330 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 Lexus RX330’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 Lexus RX330’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Lexus RX330 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RX330’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2005 Lexus RX330 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Lexus RX330 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Lexus RX330 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your RX330’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Lexus RX330 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your RX330 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 RX330's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your RX330's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus RX330 need replacing? Worn RX330 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your RX330 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your RX330 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
