Is It Time For 2015 BMW 550i GT Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2015 BMW 550i GT, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 550i GT bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 BMW 550i GT in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 550i GT steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 550i GT

Your 2015 BMW 550i GT’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2015 BMW 550i GT’s shocks and struts replaced 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 signs of worn BMW 550i GT shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 550i GT’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2015 550i GT Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for 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 550i GT 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. 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? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 550i GT is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW 550i GT to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 550i GT 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 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 550i GT shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 550i GT might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 550i GT shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
