Does Your 2017 BMW 330i GT xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2017 BMW 330i GT xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 330i GT xDrive feels bouncy, leans 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 2017 BMW 330i GT xDrive in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 330i GT 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 330i GT xDrive Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 BMW 330i GT xDrive 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 limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2017 BMW 330i GT xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced 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 signs of worn BMW 330i GT xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 330i GT xDrive’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 330i GT xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 330i GT xDrive's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 330i GT xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW 330i GT xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 330i GT xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 330i GT xDrive bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 330i GT 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.
  • Why does my 330i GT xDrive tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 330i GT xDrive 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 are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 330i GT xDrive need replacing? If your 330i GT xDrive shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 330i GT xDrive might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
