When To Get 2018 Lexus RX350 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2018 Lexus RX350, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your RX350 jolts, leans 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 2018 Lexus RX350 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel 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 Lexus RX350’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 RX350 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 Lexus RX350’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Lexus RX350’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Lexus RX350 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RX350’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Lexus RX350 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RX350's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 RX350 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 right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Lexus RX350 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your RX350 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my RX350 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your RX350'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 do worn Lexus RX350 shocks feel like? 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.
