Does Your 1988 BMW 635CSi Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1988 BMW 635CSi, 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. Maybe your 635CSi 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 1988 BMW 635CSi in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 635CSi’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 635CSi

Your 1988 BMW 635CSi’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 reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1988 BMW 635CSi’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW 635CSi shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1988 BMW 635CSi 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.

Questions About 1988 BMW 635CSi Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 635CSi's steering and 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 635CSi 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 635CSi power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 635CSi is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my BMW 635CSi to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 635CSi 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 635CSi's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your 635CSi when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 635CSi shocks? Worn 635CSi shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 635CSi might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 635CSi shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
