Does my BMW X3 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 X3’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.

When To Get 2021 BMW X3 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2021 BMW X3, 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 X3 jolts, leans 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 X3 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your X3 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW X3 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 BMW X3 suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy.

But there's no set schedule for 2021 BMW X3 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW X3 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 BMW X3 suspension 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.
