Is It Time For 2020 Mini Cooper Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2020 Mini Cooper, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Cooper feels bouncy, drifts 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 2020 Mini Cooper, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Mini Cooper’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.

Mini Cooper Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Mini Cooper’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2020 Mini Cooper’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Mini Cooper shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Cooper’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2020 Cooper Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mini's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mini Cooper? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Mini Cooper power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. 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 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your Cooper 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 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Cooper feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Cooper travels over minor bumps.
