When To Get 1993 BMW 318is Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1993 BMW 318is, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 318is bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1993 BMW 318is in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 318is steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 318is Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1993 BMW 318is suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 1993 BMW 318is shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn BMW 318is shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1993 BMW 318is’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 1993 BMW 318is Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 318is's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 318is? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 should I have my BMW 318is power steering fluid 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 can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 318is bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 318is 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 318is front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 318is 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 318is shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 318is feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 318is travels over minor bumps.
