When To Get 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 7, 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 ActiveHybrid 7 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your ActiveHybrid 7 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 parts of your BMW ActiveHybrid 7 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 7 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your ActiveHybrid 7’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW ActiveHybrid 7 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your ActiveHybrid 7’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ActiveHybrid 7's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 7 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 should I have my BMW ActiveHybrid 7 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your ActiveHybrid 7’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW ActiveHybrid 7 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your ActiveHybrid 7 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my ActiveHybrid 7 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your ActiveHybrid 7'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 ActiveHybrid 7 are bad? Worn ActiveHybrid 7 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ActiveHybrid 7 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ActiveHybrid 7 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
