Is It Time For 2011 Lexus RX450h Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2011 Lexus RX450h, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your RX450h feels bouncy, pulls 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 2011 Lexus RX450h in for suspension and steering service. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your RX450h suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus RX450h suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Lexus RX450h Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2011 Lexus RX450h’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2011 Lexus RX450h shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus RX450h shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Lexus RX450h’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.

2011 RX450h Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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 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 RX450h get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. 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 does Lexus RX450h 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 RX450h is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus RX450h bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Lexus RX450h 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 RX450h 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.
  • What do worn Lexus RX450h shocks feel like? Worn RX450h 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.
