When To Get 1987 BMW 735i Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1987 BMW 735i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 735i bounces, drifts 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 1987 BMW 735i in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 735i suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 735i 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.

BMW 735i Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1987 BMW 735i’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 735i’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 735i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 BMW 735i suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1987 735i Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 735i? 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 come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 735i power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW 735i bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 735i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 735i tilt forward when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 735i need replacing? Worn 735i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 735i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 735i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
