Does Your 2015 BMW 328d xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2015 BMW 328d xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 328d xDrive feels bouncy, pulls 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 2015 BMW 328d xDrive, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 328d xDrive suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 328d xDrive’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 328d xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2015 BMW 328d xDrive suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2015 BMW 328d xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW 328d xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 328d xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 328d xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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.
  • Why should my BMW 328d xDrive get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does BMW 328d xDrive 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 328d xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 328d xDrive bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 328d xDrive goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 328d xDrive to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 328d xDrive'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 do worn BMW 328d xDrive shocks feel like? Worn 328d xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 328d xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 328d xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
