Is It Time For 1993 BMW 525iT Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 1993 BMW 525iT, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 525iT feels bouncy, pulls 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 1993 BMW 525iT in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW 525iT’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 525iT Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1993 BMW 525iT’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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1993 BMW 525iT’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 525iT shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1993 BMW 525iT’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1993 525iT Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my BMW 525iT get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When does BMW 525iT power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 525iT 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 525iT bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 525iT to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 525iT's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 525iT'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 525iT are bad? If your 525iT 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 525iT might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
