When To Get 2012 Lexus RX350 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2012 Lexus RX350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your RX350 feels bouncy, drifts 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 2012 Lexus RX350, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus RX350’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 RX350 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 Lexus RX350 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 limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2012 Lexus RX350 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus RX350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 Lexus RX350 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2012 Lexus RX350 Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lexus's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Lexus RX350? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Lexus RX350 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your RX350’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus RX350 bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my RX350 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus RX350 are bad? 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.
