When To Get 1990 BMW 325is Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 BMW 325is, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 325is bounces, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 BMW 325is in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW 325is’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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 325is

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 BMW 325is’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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. But there's no set schedule for 1990 BMW 325is shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 325is shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 BMW 325is’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 325is Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 325is? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 325is power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 325is’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW 325is bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 325is to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 325is front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 325is when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 325is are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 325is feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 325is travels over minor bumps.
