Is It Time For 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Alpina B7 xDrive jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive in for suspension and steering service. 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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive’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 Alpina B7 xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive suspension system. 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 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 Alpina B7 xDrive’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 signs of worn BMW Alpina B7 xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

Questions About 2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Alpina B7 xDrive's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 Alpina B7 xDrive? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When does BMW Alpina B7 xDrive power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Alpina B7 xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your BMW Alpina B7 xDrive 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 Alpina B7 xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW Alpina B7 xDrive shocks? Worn Alpina B7 xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Alpina B7 xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Alpina B7 xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
