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

Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 330e?

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.

When should I have my BMW 330e power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 330e is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my BMW 330e bouncing excessively?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 330e 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 330e 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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 330e are bad?

Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 330e feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 330e travels over minor bumps.

Does Your 2017 BMW 330e Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2017 BMW 330e, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 330e jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 BMW 330e 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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 330e suspension system needs repair, 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 330e 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 330e Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 BMW 330e 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 330e’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 330e shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 BMW 330e suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
