Is It Time For 2009 BMW 528i xDrive Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2009 BMW 528i xDrive, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 528i xDrive bounces, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2009 BMW 528i xDrive 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 528i xDrive suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW 528i xDrive’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.

BMW 528i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 BMW 528i xDrive suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2009 BMW 528i xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 528i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 BMW 528i xDrive suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2009 528i xDrive Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 528i xDrive'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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 528i xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW 528i xDrive 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 528i xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 528i xDrive bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 528i xDrive might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my 528i xDrive front end dip forward when I brake? The forward dip in the front end of your 528i xDrive 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 do I know if I have worn BMW 528i xDrive shocks? Worn 528i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 528i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 528i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
