Is It Time For 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your Cooper Countryman feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Mini Cooper Countryman’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mini up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mini Cooper Countryman shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cooper Countryman’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 Cooper Countryman Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mini's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mini Cooper Countryman? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Mini intended.
  • When does Mini Cooper Countryman power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Cooper Countryman is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mini service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mini Cooper Countryman bouncing excessively? 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 Countryman front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Cooper Countryman when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What do worn Mini Cooper Countryman shocks feel like? 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.
