Does Your 2017 Mini Cooper Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2017 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. Maybe your Cooper jolts, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Mini Cooper 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’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Cooper suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. 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 Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2017 Mini Cooper’s suspension. 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 getting your 2017 Mini Cooper’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Mini Cooper shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Mini Cooper’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.

Questions About 2017 Mini Cooper Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 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 top it off per Mini's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Mini Cooper bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your Mini Cooper 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.
  • Why does my Cooper's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Cooper 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 do I know if I have worn Mini Cooper shocks? Worn Cooper shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Cooper might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Cooper shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
