Is It Time For 2014 BMW 550i GT Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2014 BMW 550i GT, 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 550i GT 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 2014 BMW 550i GT, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 550i GT suspension system needs repair, 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 your 550i GT 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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 550i GT

Your 2014 BMW 550i GT’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 550i GT’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 550i GT shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 BMW 550i GT suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 550i GT Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 550i GT's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 550i GT? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW 550i GT power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 550i GT’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW 550i GT bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 550i GT to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 550i GT tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 550i GT'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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW 550i GT need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 550i GT feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 550i GT travels over minor bumps.
