When To Get 2016 BMW 535d xDrive Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 BMW 535d xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 535d xDrive jolts, leans 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 2016 BMW 535d xDrive 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 535d xDrive 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 535d xDrive

Your 2016 BMW 535d xDrive’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 535d xDrive’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW 535d xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 BMW 535d xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2016 535d xDrive Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 535d xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 535d xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 535d xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW 535d 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 535d xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 535d xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 535d xDrive'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.
  • What do worn BMW 535d xDrive shocks feel like? Worn 535d xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 535d xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 535d xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
