When To Get 2004 BMW Z4 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2004 BMW Z4, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Z4 jolts, drifts 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 2004 BMW Z4, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your BMW Z4’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW Z4 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2004 BMW Z4’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2004 BMW Z4 shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW Z4 shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Z4’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2004 Z4 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Z4's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW Z4? 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 come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When does BMW Z4 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Z4’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW Z4 bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Z4 to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Z4 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Z4'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 Z4 need replacing? If your Z4 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Z4 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
