Does Your 1986 BMW 325es Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 1986 BMW 325es, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 325es feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1986 BMW 325es, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 325es suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 325es steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 325es

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1986 BMW 325es suspension system. 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 1986 BMW 325es shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW 325es shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 325es’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

1986 325es Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 325es? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does BMW 325es power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 325es is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW 325es bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my 325es front end dip forward when I brake? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What do worn BMW 325es shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 325es feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 325es travels over minor bumps.
