Is It Time For 2012 BMW 740i Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2012 BMW 740i, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 740i jolts, pulls 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 740i 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. 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 740i 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 740i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2012 BMW 740i’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2012 BMW 740i shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 740i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 BMW 740i suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2012 BMW 740i Steering & Suspension

  • 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 740i? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • When should I have my BMW 740i power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 740i is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 740i bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 740i 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 740i to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 740i when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn BMW 740i shocks feel like? Worn 740i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 740i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 740i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
