How Your Suspension System Works?

Your suspension system is made up of a network of components, including shocks, struts, control arms, ball joints, bushings, and springs. They all work together to absorb road irregularities and keep your tires firmly planted on the ground. It works in close coordination with your steering and braking systems to give you precise handling and a comfortable ride. Over time, the constant stress of everyday driving causes these components to wear down, which is why regular inspection and timely servicing are key to keeping your Lexus performing at its best.

8 Signs Your Suspension System Needs Attention

The signs that your suspension needs to be inspected or serviced are often easy to identify and include the following:

Excessive bouncing or a rough, uncomfortable ride
Vehicle nose-diving when braking
Drifting or pulling to one side during turns
Steering wheel feels loose, unstable, or off-centre
Clunking or knocking noises when driving over bumps
Uneven or accelerated tire wear
Sagging ride height on one side of the vehicle
Unpredictable or difficult-to-control handling

If you notice any of these signs while driving your Lexus around Toronto, ON, take the time to schedule a service appointment with technicians you can trust to diagnose and address the issue.

Suspension Service FAQs

How often should you have your suspension inspected?

As a general rule, your suspension system should be inspected every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometres, or once a year, whichever comes first. That said, if you frequently drive on rough roads or notice any of the warning signs above, it's a good idea to have it looked at sooner.

What suspension components are typically inspected or replaced?

During a suspension inspection at Lexus Downtown, our technicians will examine all of the key components that make up your suspension system, including shocks and struts, control arms, ball joints, bushings, and springs. Depending on the findings, worn components will be recommended for replacement using Lexus Genuine Parts to ensure your vehicle continues to perform to factory specifications.

Can a worn suspension system affect other parts of my Lexus?

Yes. A neglected suspension system can have a ripple effect on other parts of your vehicle. Worn shocks or struts can accelerate tire wear and put additional stress on your brakes, while damaged control arms or ball joints can throw off your wheel alignment and affect your steering. Addressing suspension issues promptly helps protect your tires, brakes, and steering components, saving you from more costly repairs down the road.
