Does Your 2020 Lexus RX450hL Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2020 Lexus RX450hL, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your RX450hL bounces, 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 2020 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, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Lexus RX450hL’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Lexus RX450hL

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 Lexus RX450hL suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2020 Lexus RX450hL shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Lexus RX450hL shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your RX450hL’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 RX450hL Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Lexus's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 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 should I have my Lexus RX450hL power steering fluid 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’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Lexus RX450hL bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your RX450hL to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my RX450hL front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
