When To Get 2019 BMW 540i xDrive Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2019 BMW 540i xDrive, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 540i xDrive bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2019 BMW 540i xDrive in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your 540i 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.

BMW 540i xDrive Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2019 BMW 540i xDrive’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2019 BMW 540i xDrive shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 540i xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 540i xDrive’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2019 540i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 540i 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 540i xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • When does BMW 540i 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 540i xDrive bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 540i xDrive might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my 540i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 540i xDrive 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 do worn BMW 540i xDrive shocks feel like? Worn 540i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 540i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 540i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
