Is It Time For 2014 BMW 535d Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2014 BMW 535d, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 535d jolts, drifts 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 2014 BMW 535d in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 535d’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 535d Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2014 BMW 535d’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 2014 BMW 535d’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW 535d shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 BMW 535d suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2014 535d 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 535d? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW 535d power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 535d 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 535d 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 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 535d's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 535d 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 535d need replacing? Worn 535d 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.
