When To Get 2018 BMW X4 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2018 BMW X4, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your X4 bounces, leans 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 2018 BMW X4 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your BMW X4 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW X4 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2018 BMW X4 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2018 BMW X4 shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW X4 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2018 BMW X4 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2018 X4 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW X4? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW X4 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your X4’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW X4 bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your X4 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my X4 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your X4'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 X4 shocks feel like? Worn X4 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your X4 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your X4 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
