Does Your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe 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.

BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 getting your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks? Worn 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
