When To Get 2012 BMW 335i Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2012 BMW 335i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 335i jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2012 BMW 335i, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 BMW 335i’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 335i Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 BMW 335i’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 335i’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn BMW 335i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 335i’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2012 BMW 335i Steering & Suspension

  • 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 335i? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 335i power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 335i’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 335i bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my 335i front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 335i are bad? Worn 335i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 335i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 335i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
