Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Alpina XB7's steering and suspension?

Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my BMW Alpina XB7 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 does BMW Alpina XB7 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Alpina XB7’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why is my BMW Alpina XB7 bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Alpina XB7 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.

Why does my Alpina XB7's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

The forward dip in the front end of your Alpina XB7 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 can I tell if the shocks on my BMW Alpina XB7 are bad?

Worn Alpina XB7 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Alpina XB7 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Alpina XB7 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Does Your 2024 BMW Alpina XB7 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2024 BMW Alpina XB7, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Alpina XB7 feels bouncy, sways 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 2024 BMW Alpina XB7 in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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 absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Alpina XB7 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW Alpina XB7 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2024 BMW Alpina XB7’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2024 BMW Alpina XB7 shock and strut replacement 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 XB7 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2024 BMW Alpina XB7’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
