Is It Time For 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Cooper Countryman feels bouncy, leans 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 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, bring it 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Cooper Countryman suspension system needs repair, 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 Countryman 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 Countryman Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Mini Cooper Countryman shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman suspension 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 2016 Mini Cooper Countryman Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cooper Countryman's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Why should my Mini Cooper Countryman get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mini Cooper Countryman power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few 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 optimally.
  • What can cause my Mini Cooper Countryman to have a bouncy ride? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mini Cooper Countryman shocks? Worn Cooper Countryman shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
