Does Your 2000 BMW 740iL Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2000 BMW 740iL, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 740iL feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2000 BMW 740iL, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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 dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 740iL suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW 740iL suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 740iL Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 BMW 740iL’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 740iL shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2000 BMW 740iL’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 740iL Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 740iL's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 740iL? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 740iL power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 740iL bouncing excessively? 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 740iL front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 740iL'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 do I know if I have worn BMW 740iL shocks? 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.
