When To Get 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe bounces, drifts 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 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe

Your 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’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. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2021 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 228i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe need replacing? 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.
