When To Get 2021 BMW 540i Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 BMW 540i, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 540i jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 BMW 540i, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 540i suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your BMW 540i 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 540i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2021 BMW 540i 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 540i’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 540i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 BMW 540i suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2021 BMW 540i Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 540i's steering and 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 540i? 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 come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 540i power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 540i is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW 540i bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 540i 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 540i to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 540i 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 540i shocks? If your 540i 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 540i might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
