Does Your 2020 BMW X6 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2020 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. Maybe your X6 jolts, 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 2020 BMW X6 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle 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 explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your X6 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW X6 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2020 BMW X6 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2020 BMW X6’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW X6 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2020 BMW X6’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 X6 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW X6? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 does BMW X6 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 X6’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my BMW X6 to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your BMW X6 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my X6 to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW X6 need replacing? 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.
