Does Your 2021 BMW 230i xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 BMW 230i xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 230i xDrive bounces, sways 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 2021 BMW 230i xDrive in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 230i xDrive 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.

BMW 230i xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 BMW 230i xDrive’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 BMW 230i xDrive shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW 230i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 BMW 230i xDrive 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.

2021 230i xDrive Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 230i xDrive's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 230i xDrive? 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.
  • When should I have my BMW 230i xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 230i xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW 230i xDrive bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 230i xDrive 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 230i xDrive to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 230i xDrive need replacing? Worn 230i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 230i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 230i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
