Is It Time For 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, 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 Alpina B7 xDrive bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 Alpina B7 xDrive 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 Alpina B7 xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 Alpina B7 xDrive’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW Alpina B7 xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive suspension 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 2012 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW Alpina B7 xDrive bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Alpina B7 xDrive 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 Alpina B7 xDrive to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Alpina B7 xDrive combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn BMW Alpina B7 xDrive shocks feel like? 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.
