Does Your 1989 BMW 325i Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1989 BMW 325i, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 325i jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1989 BMW 325i in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 325i 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.

BMW 325i Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1989 BMW 325i suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 325i’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW 325i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1989 BMW 325i suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 1989 BMW 325i Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 325i's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 325i? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major 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 325i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 325i’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 325i bouncing 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 325i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 325i's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 325i need replacing? Worn 325i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 325i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 325i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
