BMW 3 Series Coil Spring Problems
Car feels like it's bouncing after going over a speed bump
After driving over speed bumps or changes in road surfaces the car doesn't settle back to normal as quickly as it should. The car feels like it's carrying on bouncing long after the car has driven over the obstacle.
Car looks like it is leaning to the left or right
When looking at the car parked on flat ground it looks like it's leaning to one side, almost as if there's a large weight loaded on one side of the car. The car can also feel unstable to drive, especially in corners.
Car feels like it rolls too much through corners
When going around corners the car feels like it drifts out more than it should, it doesn't follow the expect line through the corner and the car seems more unstable than it did.
Suspension makes creaking or squeaking sound
At slow speeds there is a distinct creaking or squeaking sound coming from the corner of the car. The sound is more obvious at slow speeds and will usually be noticeable when you feel weight shift around the car when it changes direction.
