Lexus ES 250/300h Suspension Service Malaysia
The ES (XV70) uses MacPherson front struts and a double-wishbone rear suspension. Suspension is designed for comfort — shock absorbers and springs last 80,000–120,000 km in normal use. Malaysia's road conditions can accelerate wear; inspect for oil leaks from shock absorbers and check all rubber bushings at major service intervals. Front strut replacement (pair).
ES Suspension Service
- Struts/shocks: inspect at 80,000 km — softer luxury tuning means less wear but still ages with Malaysia heat
- Front lower arm bushings: common wear at 100,000 km+ — causes vague steering feel
