When does BMW 540i 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 top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my BMW 540i bouncing excessively?

If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 540i to bounce more than usual.

Why does my 540i front end dip forward when I brake?

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.

What do worn BMW 540i shocks feel like?

Worn 540i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 540i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 540i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.

Is It Time For 2022 BMW 540i Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2022 BMW 540i, 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. Perhaps your 540i feels bouncy, leans 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 2022 BMW 540i 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 540i’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

BMW 540i Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2022 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2022 BMW 540i’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 540i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2022 BMW 540i suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.
