Is It Time For 2021 BMW i3 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2021 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 jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 BMW i3 in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW i3 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW i3

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 BMW i3’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your i3’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW i3 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your i3’s 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.

Questions About 2021 BMW i3 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW i3? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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.
  • Does my BMW i3 power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your i3’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW i3 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW i3 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my i3 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your i3 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn BMW i3 shocks feel like? 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.
