Is It Time For 2014 BMW 528i Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2014 BMW 528i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 528i jolts, sways 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 2014 BMW 528i in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 528i suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW 528i suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 528i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 BMW 528i suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there's no set schedule for 2014 BMW 528i shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 528i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 528i’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 528i Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 528i's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 should my BMW 528i 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 come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When does BMW 528i 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 528i is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my BMW 528i to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 528i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 528i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 528i'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 528i are bad? If your 528i 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 528i might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
