Is It Time For 2016 BMW 428i Gran Coupe Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2016 BMW 428i Gran Coupe, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 428i Gran Coupe feels bouncy, pulls 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 2016 BMW 428i Gran Coupe in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, 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 428i Gran Coupe 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 428i Gran Coupe

Your 2016 BMW 428i Gran Coupe’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 428i Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW 428i Gran Coupe shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 428i Gran Coupe’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 428i Gran Coupe Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Why should my BMW 428i Gran Coupe get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW 428i Gran Coupe power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 428i Gran Coupe is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 428i Gran Coupe bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 428i Gran Coupe to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 428i Gran Coupe to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 428i Gran Coupe combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn BMW 428i Gran Coupe shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 428i Gran Coupe feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 428i Gran Coupe travels over minor bumps.
