Is It Time For 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Land Cruiser feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Land Cruiser 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 Land Cruiser steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Toyota Land Cruiser Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Toyota up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Land Cruiser’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Toyota Land Cruiser shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Toyota Land Cruiser? 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 Toyota intended.
  • Does my Toyota Land Cruiser power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Land Cruiser is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Toyota's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Toyota Land Cruiser to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Land Cruiser to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Land Cruiser front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Land Cruiser 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 Toyota Land Cruiser are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Land Cruiser feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Land Cruiser travels over minor bumps.
