Does Your 2008 BMW X6 Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2008 BMW X6, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your X6 feels bouncy, drifts 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 2008 BMW X6 in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your X6 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 X6 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 BMW X6’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2008 BMW X6 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW X6 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your X6’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 X6 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my X6's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW X6? 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.
  • Does my BMW X6 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 X6 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW X6 bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your X6 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my X6's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your X6'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW X6 are bad? Worn X6 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your X6 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your X6 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
