Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my M340i's steering and suspension?

Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW M340i?

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 connect with the road how BMW intended.

Does my BMW M340i power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your M340i is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.

What can cause my BMW M340i to have a bouncy ride?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your M340i to bounce more than usual.

Why does my M340i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?

As you brake, the forward momentum of your M340i 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.

How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW M340i are bad?

Worn M340i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your M340i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your M340i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

When To Get 2021 BMW M340i Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 BMW M340i, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your M340i bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 BMW M340i in for suspension and steering service. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 M340i’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 M340i Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2021 BMW M340i’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 BMW M340i’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW M340i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 BMW M340i suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
