When To Get 1990 BMW 325iX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1990 BMW 325iX, 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 325iX jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1990 BMW 325iX in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 325iX steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 325iX Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1990 BMW 325iX’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 325iX’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 325iX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1990 BMW 325iX’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1990 325iX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 325iX's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 325iX? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 325iX power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 325iX’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 325iX bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 325iX to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 325iX to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 325iX 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 are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 325iX need replacing? Worn 325iX shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 325iX might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 325iX shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
