When To Get 2011 BMW 335i Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2011 BMW 335i, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 335i bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2011 BMW 335i in for steering and suspension services. 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, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your BMW 335i suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 335i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 BMW 335i’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 BMW 335i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 335i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2011 BMW 335i suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 335i Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 335i's steering and 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my BMW 335i 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 335i power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 335i’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 335i bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 335i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 335i tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 335i'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 335i need replacing? If your 335i 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 335i might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
