Does Your 2012 BMW Alpina B7L Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2012 BMW Alpina B7L, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. 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 2012 BMW Alpina B7L, bring it 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 parts of your BMW Alpina B7L 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW Alpina B7L

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2012 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 2012 BMW Alpina B7L shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW Alpina B7L shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2012 BMW Alpina B7L suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2012 Alpina B7L Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Alpina B7L's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new 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 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.
  • Does my BMW Alpina B7L power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW Alpina B7L 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 B7L to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Alpina B7L to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What do worn BMW Alpina B7L shocks feel like? Worn Alpina B7L shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Alpina B7L might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Alpina B7L shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
