Is It Time For 2017 BMW X1 Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2017 BMW X1, 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 X1 bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 BMW X1 in for suspension and steering service. 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, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 X1 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW X1 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 BMW X1 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2017 BMW X1 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW X1 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your X1’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 X1 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my X1's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW X1? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When does BMW X1 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your X1’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW X1 bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your BMW X1 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 X1 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your X1 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 do I know if I have worn BMW X1 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your X1 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your X1 travels over minor bumps.
