Does Your 1993 Lexus SC300 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1993 Lexus SC300, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your SC300 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1993 Lexus SC300 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your SC300 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Lexus SC300’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 SC300 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1993 Lexus SC300’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1993 Lexus SC300’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Lexus SC300 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1993 Lexus SC300 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1993 Lexus SC300 Steering & Suspension

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 SC300? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 SC300 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your SC300 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Lexus service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Lexus SC300 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your SC300 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my SC300 to dip forward when I apply 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Lexus SC300 need replacing? Worn SC300 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.
