Is It Time For 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Cooper Countryman jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mini Cooper Countryman Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2018 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs 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. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2018 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 let you know when it's time to replace your 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mini Cooper Countryman? 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 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Mini service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Mini Cooper Countryman to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Mini Cooper Countryman might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Cooper Countryman to dip forward when I apply 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 do worn Mini Cooper Countryman shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cooper Countryman feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cooper Countryman travels over minor bumps.
