You may not know what your shock and struts are (yet), however, they are an ever so important presence in your vehicle! When you roll over a speed bump (maybe a little too fast, as you’re running late for work?), or as you’re driving up mountains through dirt and hills when your off-roading for the weekend, your shock and struts are working! To be honest, your shock and struts are not just important when you’re taking on adventures (and yes speed bumps are adventurous enough for some people), they are important for everyday driving. The strut assembly is the heart of the suspension, which means if our shock and struts are out of whack then we are in for a dangerous ride (also bumpy, which is a close second to dangerous).
The shock and struts are a system that has cohesively combined a shock absorber and a coil spring. The successful blending of these two formerly separate units has amounted to a nearly bump-free ride. They absorb impact and keep the tires firmly glued to the ground, with no exceptions (no exceptions is not a calling card for challenges). If you think you may need a shock and strut service/replacement then BMW of West St. Louis service center has you covered! Our certified technicians will be eager to take care of you.
With your shock and struts, it is always better to be safe than sorry! A replacement for your shock and struts should be carried out by a certified technician between 50,000 – 100,000 miles. Our technicians will diagnose your issue by checking for leaks and excessively bouncing in your vehicle. This service is often discovered during other routine services such as a four-wheel alignment service. We at BMW want you to feel comfortable as you drive and want you to have all the right information, which is why we have listed the warning signs that a replacement is imminent below:
