When To Get 2013 BMW 650i xDrive Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2013 BMW 650i xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your 650i xDrive feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2013 BMW 650i xDrive in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your BMW 650i xDrive suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW 650i xDrive Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2013 BMW 650i xDrive’s suspension. 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 2013 BMW 650i xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW 650i xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 650i xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2013 BMW 650i xDrive Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 650i xDrive? 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 connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 650i xDrive power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 650i xDrive’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 650i xDrive bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 650i xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 650i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 650i 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my BMW 650i xDrive are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 650i xDrive feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 650i xDrive travels over minor bumps.
  • Where can I go for 650i xDrive suspension repair? When you need your 650i xDrive suspension system serviced, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. We inspect, maintain, and repair 650i xDrive suspensions. Schedule your appointment today!
