Does Your 2021 Lexus RX350 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Lexus RX350, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your RX350 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Lexus RX350 in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your RX350 suspension system needs repair, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus RX350

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Lexus RX350’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2021 Lexus RX350’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Lexus RX350 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 Lexus RX350 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2021 Lexus RX350 Steering & Suspension

  • 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus RX350 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your RX350’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off 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? The forward dip in the front end of your RX350 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further 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.
