Does Your 2012 BMW X6 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2012 BMW X6, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your X6 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2012 BMW X6, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your X6 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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

Your 2012 BMW X6’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2012 BMW X6 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW X6 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 BMW X6’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2012 BMW X6 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my BMW X6 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my BMW X6 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW X6 bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your X6 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my X6 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What do worn BMW X6 shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your X6 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your X6 travels over minor bumps.
