When To Get 2016 BMW 328i xDrive Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2016 BMW 328i xDrive, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 328i xDrive bounces, leans 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 2016 BMW 328i xDrive 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 328i xDrive suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your 328i 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 328i xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2016 BMW 328i xDrive’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 limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2016 BMW 328i xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 328i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 BMW 328i xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2016 BMW 328i xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • 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 help you notice when you need 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 328i xDrive? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 328i xDrive power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW 328i xDrive 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 328i xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 328i xDrive tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 328i xDrive's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 328i xDrive are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 328i xDrive feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 328i xDrive travels over minor bumps.
