When To Get 1989 BMW M3 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1989 BMW M3, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your M3 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1989 BMW M3 in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW M3’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 M3 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1989 BMW M3’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your M3’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW M3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 BMW M3 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1989 BMW M3 Steering & Suspension

  • 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 help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW M3? 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 connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW M3 power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your M3’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW M3 bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my M3 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your M3 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 are the signs that the shocks on my BMW M3 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your M3 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your M3 travels over minor bumps.
