Does Your 1987 BMW 325es Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1987 BMW 325es, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 325es feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1987 BMW 325es, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. 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 parts of your BMW 325es suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 325es

Your 1987 BMW 325es’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 325es’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW 325es shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1987 BMW 325es suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1987 BMW 325es Steering & Suspension

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 325es? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW 325es power steering fluid need to be checked? 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 can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW 325es to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 325es might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my 325es tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 325es combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn BMW 325es shocks feel like? If your 325es shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 325es might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
