Is It Time For 2018 BMW 430i xDrive Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2018 BMW 430i xDrive, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 430i xDrive feels bouncy, leans 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 2018 BMW 430i xDrive in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, 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 all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 430i xDrive’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 430i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 BMW 430i xDrive’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 BMW 430i xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 430i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 BMW 430i xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2018 BMW 430i xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 430i 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 430i xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 430i xDrive power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW 430i xDrive to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 430i xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 430i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 430i 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 430i xDrive are bad? Worn 430i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 430i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 430i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
