Does Your 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Cooper Clubman feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman in for steering and suspension services. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub 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 go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Mini Cooper Clubman suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Mini Cooper Clubman Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman’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 getting your 2016 Mini Cooper Clubman’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mini Cooper Clubman shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cooper Clubman’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2016 Cooper Clubman Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mini's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mini Cooper Clubman get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 Mini intended.
  • When does Mini Cooper Clubman 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Mini's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mini Cooper Clubman bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Cooper Clubman's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mini Cooper Clubman need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cooper Clubman feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cooper Clubman travels over minor bumps.
