Does Your 2022 BMW 230i Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2022 BMW 230i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 230i jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2022 BMW 230i in for steering and suspension services. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 230i suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 230i’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 230i

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2022 BMW 230i suspension system. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 230i’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW 230i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 230i’s 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.

2022 230i Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my BMW 230i get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does BMW 230i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 230i’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW 230i to have a bouncy ride? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my 230i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 230i when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn BMW 230i shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 230i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 230i travels over minor bumps.
