Is It Time For 2002 BMW 745Li Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2002 BMW 745Li, 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 745Li bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2002 BMW 745Li 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, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 745Li 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 745Li steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 745Li Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2002 BMW 745Li suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 745Li’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW 745Li shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 BMW 745Li’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2002 BMW 745Li Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 745Li'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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 745Li? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 does BMW 745Li power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 745Li’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW 745Li bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 745Li to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 745Li to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What do worn BMW 745Li shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 745Li feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 745Li travels over minor bumps.
