Does Your 2012 BMW 640i Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2012 BMW 640i, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 640i feels bouncy, drifts 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 2012 BMW 640i in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW 640i’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 640i Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 BMW 640i’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 640i’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW 640i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 BMW 640i suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2012 640i 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 alert you to the need for 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 640i? 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.
  • Does my BMW 640i power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 640i’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 640i bouncing so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 640i goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my 640i front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 640i'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 do I know if I have worn BMW 640i shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 640i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 640i travels over minor bumps.
