Is It Time For 2017 BMW 530i Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2017 BMW 530i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 530i jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2017 BMW 530i in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your 530i 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 530i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2017 BMW 530i’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the 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 2017 BMW 530i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW 530i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 530i’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 530i Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 530i? 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 come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 530i power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 530i is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW 530i bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 530i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 530i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 530i 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 530i shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 530i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 530i travels over minor bumps.
