Does Your 2021 Lexus RX350L Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2021 Lexus RX350L, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your RX350L feels bouncy, leans 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 RX350L in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your RX350L steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus RX350L

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Lexus RX350L’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Lexus up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 Lexus RX350L’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus RX350L shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Lexus RX350L’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 RX350L Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RX350L's steering and 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 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 RX350L get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • When does Lexus RX350L 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 RX350L is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus RX350L bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your RX350L to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my RX350L front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your RX350L'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 RX350L need replacing? Worn RX350L shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
