Is It Time For 2000 Lexus SC300 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2000 Lexus SC300, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your SC300 bounces, drifts 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 2000 Lexus SC300 in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your SC300 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Lexus SC300 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Lexus SC300 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Lexus SC300 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 getting your 2000 Lexus SC300’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Lexus SC300 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your SC300’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 SC300 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Lexus SC300 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way Lexus intended.
  • Does my Lexus SC300 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Lexus's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Lexus SC300 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your SC300 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my SC300's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your SC300 when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Lexus SC300 shocks feel like? Worn SC300 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your SC300 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your SC300 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
