When To Get 2014 Mini Cooper Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2014 Mini Cooper, 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 feels bouncy, leans 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 2014 Mini Cooper, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Cooper suspension system needs repair, 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 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Mini Cooper Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 Mini Cooper suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2014 Mini Cooper shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mini Cooper shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 Mini Cooper suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2014 Mini Cooper Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Cooper's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Mini Cooper? 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 connect with the road how Mini intended.
  • When does Mini Cooper 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Mini service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mini Cooper bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Cooper goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Cooper tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Cooper's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn Mini Cooper shocks? If your Cooper 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 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
