Is It Time For 2011 BMW Alpina B7L Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Alpina B7L bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your BMW Alpina B7L 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW Alpina B7L

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW Alpina B7L shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Alpina B7L’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 Alpina B7L Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Alpina B7L's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW Alpina B7L? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When does BMW Alpina B7L 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 B7L is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW Alpina B7L bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Alpina B7L tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Alpina B7L 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 Alpina B7L shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Alpina B7L feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Alpina B7L travels over minor bumps.
