Does Your 2007 BMW Alpina B7 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2007 BMW Alpina B7, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Alpina B7 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2007 BMW Alpina B7 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your Alpina B7 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW Alpina B7

Your 2007 BMW Alpina B7’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW Alpina B7 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2007 BMW Alpina B7 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2007 Alpina B7 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW Alpina B7 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Alpina B7 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW Alpina B7 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Alpina B7 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Alpina B7 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Alpina B7 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW Alpina B7 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Alpina B7 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Alpina B7 travels over minor bumps.
