Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 528i's steering and 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 528i get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment.

Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.

When should I have my BMW 528i power steering fluid checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 528i’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.

Why does my BMW 528i bounce so much?

Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.

Why does my 528i front end dip forward when I brake?

When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.

How do I know if I have worn BMW 528i shocks?

Worn 528i shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.

Is It Time For 2016 BMW 528i Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2016 BMW 528i, 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 jolts, drifts 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 2016 BMW 528i in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your 528i suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 528i steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 528i Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2016 BMW 528i’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2016 BMW 528i shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth 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 routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.
