Is It Time For 1999 BMW 740iL Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1999 BMW 740iL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 740iL jolts, pulls 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 1999 BMW 740iL in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 740iL suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your BMW 740iL suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 740iL Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1999 BMW 740iL’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 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 740iL’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW 740iL shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1999 BMW 740iL’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1999 740iL Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 740iL's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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 740iL get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 740iL power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 740iL’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 740iL 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 740iL to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 740iL to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 740iL 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 740iL shocks feel like? Worn 740iL shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 740iL might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 740iL shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
