Does Your 1997 BMW 840Ci Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1997 BMW 840Ci, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 840Ci bounces, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1997 BMW 840Ci in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 840Ci 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 840Ci Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 1997 BMW 840Ci’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 840Ci’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 840Ci shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1997 BMW 840Ci’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.

Questions About 1997 BMW 840Ci Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 840Ci? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 840Ci power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 840Ci’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my BMW 840Ci 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 840Ci to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 840Ci tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 840Ci'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 840Ci need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 840Ci feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 840Ci travels over minor bumps.
