Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my RX450h+'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.

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus RX450h+?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.

When should I have my Lexus RX450h+ power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my Lexus RX450h+ bounce 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+'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 RX450h+ shocks feel like?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your RX450h+ feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your RX450h+ travels over minor bumps.

When To Get 2024 Lexus RX450h+ Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2024 Lexus RX450h+, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your RX450h+ jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2024 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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 Lexus RX450h+’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 RX450h+ Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 Lexus RX450h+’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2024 Lexus RX450h+ shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Lexus RX450h+ shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 Lexus RX450h+’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
