What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

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. 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 740i power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 740i is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.

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 front end dip forward when I brake?

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 can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 740i are bad?

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.

When To Get 2020 BMW 740i Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2020 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, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2020 BMW 740i in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 740i 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 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 740i Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 BMW 740i’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2020 BMW 740i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 740i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 740i’s 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.
