Does Your 2017 BMW 440i Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2017 BMW 440i, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 440i bounces, leans 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 2017 BMW 440i in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 440i suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your 440i steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 440i Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2017 BMW 440i’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2017 BMW 440i shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 440i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 BMW 440i suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2017 440i Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new 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 440i? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 440i power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 440i is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 440i bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 440i might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my 440i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 440i'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 440i need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 440i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 440i travels over minor bumps.
