Is It Time For 2017 Mini Cooper Countryman Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2017 Mini Cooper Countryman, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Cooper Countryman bounces, pulls 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 2017 Mini Cooper Countryman, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Mini Cooper Countryman’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Mini Cooper Countryman

Your 2017 Mini Cooper Countryman’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2017 Mini Cooper Countryman shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Mini Cooper Countryman shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Mini Cooper Countryman suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2017 Cooper Countryman Steering & Suspension Questions

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • 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 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Cooper Countryman is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mini service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • 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? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cooper Countryman combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Mini Cooper Countryman are bad? If your Cooper Countryman 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 Cooper Countryman might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
