When To Get 2021 BMW 740i xDrive Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 BMW 740i xDrive, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 740i xDrive feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 BMW 740i xDrive in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 740i xDrive suspension system needs repair, 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 740i xDrive steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 740i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 BMW 740i xDrive suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 740i xDrive’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 740i xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 740i xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 740i xDrive Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my BMW 740i xDrive 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When does BMW 740i xDrive power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 740i xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 740i xDrive bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my 740i xDrive tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 740i xDrive'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 can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 740i xDrive are bad? Worn 740i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 740i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 740i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
