Is It Time For 2017 BMW 650i xDrive Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2017 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. Maybe your 650i xDrive jolts, drifts 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 2017 BMW 650i xDrive in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 650i xDrive 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.

BMW 650i xDrive Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 BMW 650i xDrive suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 650i xDrive’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW 650i xDrive shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 650i xDrive’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 650i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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 should my BMW 650i xDrive get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW 650i xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your 650i xDrive is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my BMW 650i xDrive bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 650i xDrive 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my 650i xDrive to dip forward when I apply 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.
  • What do worn BMW 650i xDrive shocks feel like? Worn 650i xDrive shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 650i xDrive might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 650i xDrive shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
