When To Get 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 3, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your ActiveHybrid 3 jolts, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 3, bring it 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 check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your ActiveHybrid 3 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your BMW ActiveHybrid 3 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 ActiveHybrid 3 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW ActiveHybrid 3 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ActiveHybrid 3’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.

2014 ActiveHybrid 3 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 should my BMW ActiveHybrid 3 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW ActiveHybrid 3 power steering fluid need to be 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 top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW ActiveHybrid 3 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your ActiveHybrid 3 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my ActiveHybrid 3's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your ActiveHybrid 3 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 ActiveHybrid 3 shocks? If your ActiveHybrid 3 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your ActiveHybrid 3 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
