Three worn parts commonly prevent an alignment from holding: tie rods, ball joints, and struts/shocks.
Before aligning your 2016 BMW 6-Series-Gran-Coupe, our BMW technicians check steering and suspension for play or damage. If any items are loose or bent, we’ll explain findings and options before proceeding. Fixing root causes ensures your alignment stays within spec.
