When To Get 2015 BMW i3 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2015 BMW i3, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your i3 bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2015 BMW i3, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your i3 suspension system needs repair, 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 BMW i3’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW i3 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 BMW i3’s suspension. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2015 BMW i3 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn BMW i3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 BMW i3 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.

2015 i3 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my BMW i3 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 i3 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your i3’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW i3 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your i3 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 i3 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your i3's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW i3 are bad? Worn i3 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your i3 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your i3 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
