Does Your 2021 BMW 530i xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 BMW 530i xDrive, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 530i xDrive jolts, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 BMW 530i xDrive in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 530i xDrive steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 530i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 BMW 530i xDrive suspension system. 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 BMW 530i xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 530i xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 BMW 530i xDrive’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 530i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 530i xDrive'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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 530i xDrive? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 530i xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 530i xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my BMW 530i xDrive 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 530i xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 530i xDrive tilt forward when I hit the brakes? 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.
  • What do worn BMW 530i xDrive shocks feel like? Worn 530i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 530i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 530i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
