When To Get 1999 BMW 740i Suspension Service

When you first drove your 1999 BMW 740i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 740i bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1999 BMW 740i, bring it in for steering and suspension services. 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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 740i’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 740i Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1999 BMW 740i suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1999 BMW 740i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 740i shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 BMW 740i’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

1999 740i Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Why should my BMW 740i get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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.
  • When does BMW 740i 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’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my BMW 740i 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 740i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 740i 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 740i shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 740i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 740i travels over minor bumps.
