When To Get 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 535i GT xDrive feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 535i GT xDrive steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 535i GT xDrive

Your 2011 BMW 535i GT 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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 535i GT xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 BMW 535i GT xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2011 535i GT xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 535i GT xDrive? 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.
  • Does my BMW 535i GT xDrive power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 535i GT xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW 535i GT xDrive 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 535i GT xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 535i GT xDrive tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 535i GT xDrive combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 535i GT xDrive need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 535i GT xDrive feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 535i GT xDrive travels over minor bumps.
