Does Your 2008 Lexus RX400h Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2008 Lexus RX400h, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your RX400h 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 2008 Lexus RX400h, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 RX400h’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 RX400h Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2008 Lexus RX400h’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 getting your 2008 Lexus RX400h’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Lexus RX400h shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RX400h’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.

2008 RX400h Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RX400h's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 RX400h? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • When does Lexus RX400h power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your RX400h is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus RX400h bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus RX400h might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my RX400h's nose dive down 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.
  • What do worn Lexus RX400h shocks feel like? Worn RX400h shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your RX400h might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your RX400h shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
