Is It Time For 1987 BMW L6 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 1987 BMW L6, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your L6 jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1987 BMW L6 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your L6 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW L6 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.

BMW L6 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1987 BMW L6’s suspension. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your L6’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW L6 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your L6’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1987 L6 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW L6? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW L6 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your L6 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW L6 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your L6 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my L6 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your L6'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.
  • What do worn BMW L6 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your L6 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your L6 travels over minor bumps.
