Does Your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 535i xDrive jolts, pulls 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 2009 BMW 535i xDrive in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle 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 what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your BMW 535i xDrive suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 535i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive suspension system. 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 2009 BMW 535i xDrive shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your BMW 535i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2009 BMW 535i xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2009 535i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 535i xDrive's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my BMW 535i xDrive get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When does BMW 535i xDrive power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 535i xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 535i xDrive bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 535i 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.
  • Why does my 535i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 535i xDrive need replacing? If your 535i 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 xDrive might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
