Does Your 2015 BMW 550i xDrive Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2015 BMW 550i xDrive, 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 xDrive bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2015 BMW 550i xDrive in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your BMW 550i xDrive’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 550i xDrive Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2015 BMW 550i xDrive’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 xDrive’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW 550i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2015 BMW 550i xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2015 BMW 550i xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 550i xDrive's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 550i xDrive? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 550i xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 550i xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 550i xDrive bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 550i 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 550i xDrive front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 550i xDrive'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 do worn BMW 550i xDrive shocks feel like? If your 550i xDrive 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 550i xDrive might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
