The Importance of Servicing your car’s Steering and Suspension

The steering and suspension system in your BMW plays a crucial role in ensuring the comfort and overall safety of you and your passengers.  At TMJ Bimmers, we understand the significance of these systems, and we offer comprehensive steering and suspension services to keep your BMW in top shape.

Our comprehensive steering and suspension service includes:

  1. Inspection of all steering and suspension components to detect any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment.

  2. Testing the alignment of your BMW to ensure it meets manufacturer specifications, promoting even tire wear and precise handling.

  3. Balancing the wheels to eliminate vibrations and ensure a smooth ride.

  4. Thorough inspection of shocks and struts, addressing any leaks, excessive wear, or reduced performance.

  5. Assessment of tire condition, checking for wear patterns, damage, or uneven tread wear.

Within the steering and suspension system, several components require regular maintenance and attention, including the thrust arm bushing, rear control arm bushing, and differential bushings. These components play a vital role in providing stability, precise handling, and a smooth ride.

Thrust Arm Bushings:

The thrust arm bushing is responsible for maintaining proper alignment and control of the front suspension. Over time, this bushing can wear out, leading to issues such as steering wheel vibration, uneven tire wear, and poor handling. Our expert technicians will carefully inspect the thrust arm bushing and replace it if necessary, ensuring that your BMW maintains optimal performance and stability.

Rear Control Arm Bushings:

The rear control arm bushing contributes to the stability and control of your BMW's rear suspension. As it deteriorates over time, you may experience symptoms like excessive rear tire wear, a loose or imprecise feeling while driving, and increased body roll. Our skilled technicians will thoroughly assess the condition of the rear control arm bushing and provide professional replacement services if required, restoring the handling characteristics of your BMW.

Differential Bushings:

The differential bushings are essential for minimizing vibrations and maintaining proper alignment of the differential. Worn or damaged differential bushings can result in excessive noise, clunking sounds, and compromised handling. Our experienced team will inspect the differential bushings and replace them if needed, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.

Regularly servicing your BMW's steering and suspension system with our professional expertise will not only enhance your driving experience but also ensure your safety on the road. Don't ignore any signs of steering or suspension issues, such as your vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, unusual noises, or excessive bouncing. Delaying service can lead to further damage and compromise your BMW's performance and safety.
