Is It Time For 2008 Lexus RX350 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2008 Lexus RX350, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your RX350 feels bouncy, drifts 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 2008 Lexus RX350 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your RX350 suspension system needs repair, 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 parts of your Lexus RX350 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus RX350 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2008 Lexus RX350 suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2008 Lexus RX350 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Lexus RX350 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RX350’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 RX350 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 RX350? 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.
  • Does my Lexus RX350 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your RX350 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus RX350 bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your RX350 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 RX350 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your RX350 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 RX350 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your RX350 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your RX350 travels over minor bumps.
