When To Get 2010 BMW 128i Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2010 BMW 128i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 128i jolts, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 BMW 128i, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 BMW 128i’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 128i

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 BMW 128i 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2010 BMW 128i shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 128i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 128i’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2010 BMW 128i Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 128i? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 BMW 128i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 128i’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW 128i bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 128i to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 128i to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 128i 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.
  • What do worn BMW 128i shocks feel like? Worn 128i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 128i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 128i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
