When To Get 2018 Lexus RX450hL Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2018 Lexus RX450hL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your RX450hL bounces, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2018 Lexus RX450hL in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your RX450hL suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your RX450hL steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus RX450hL Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 Lexus RX450hL suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 2018 Lexus RX450hL’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lexus RX450hL shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RX450hL’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 Lexus RX450hL Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Lexus's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Lexus RX450hL? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus RX450hL power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your RX450hL’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Lexus's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Lexus RX450hL bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your RX450hL 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 RX450hL tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your RX450hL combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Lexus RX450hL are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your RX450hL feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your RX450hL travels over minor bumps.
