When To Get 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your 535i GT xDrive feels bouncy, drifts 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 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW 535i GT xDrive’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 535i GT xDrive

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive’s suspension. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 535i GT xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2015 BMW 535i GT xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 535i GT xDrive's steering and 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 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 535i GT xDrive? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When does BMW 535i GT xDrive power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 535i GT xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW 535i GT xDrive bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 535i GT xDrive goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 535i GT xDrive to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 535i GT 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 535i GT xDrive are bad? If your 535i GT xDrive shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your 535i GT xDrive might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
