What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 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 correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.

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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe 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 228i xDrive Gran Coupe to bounce more than usual.

Why does my 228i xDrive Gran Coupe tilt forward 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 do worn BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks feel like?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe travels over minor bumps.

Does Your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 228i xDrive Gran Coupe suspension system needs repair, 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 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

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
