Does Your 1998 BMW 750iL Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 1998 BMW 750iL, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 750iL feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1998 BMW 750iL in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 BMW 750iL’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 750iL Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1998 BMW 750iL suspension system. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 750iL’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 750iL shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 750iL’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1998 750iL Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 750iL'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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 750iL? 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 connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 750iL power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 750iL is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW 750iL bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 750iL 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.
  • Why does my 750iL's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 750iL'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 can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 750iL are bad? Worn 750iL shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 750iL might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 750iL shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
