Does Your 2021 BMW 840i Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 BMW 840i, 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 840i jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 BMW 840i in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 840i 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 840i 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 840i Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 BMW 840i’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 BMW 840i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW 840i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 840i’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 840i Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 840i? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does BMW 840i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 840i is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW 840i 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 840i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 840i front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 840i 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 840i shocks? Worn 840i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 840i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 840i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
