When To Get 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman, 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 Cooper Countryman feels bouncy, 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 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 Cooper Countryman steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mini Cooper Countryman Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mini up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Mini Cooper Countryman shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Mini's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my Mini Cooper Countryman 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. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Mini intended.
  • When should I have my Mini Cooper Countryman power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Cooper Countryman’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mini's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my Mini Cooper Countryman 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 Cooper Countryman to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Cooper Countryman'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mini Cooper Countryman are bad? Worn Cooper Countryman shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Cooper Countryman might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Cooper Countryman shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
