When To Get 2008 BMW 650i Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2008 BMW 650i, 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 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 BMW 650i in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub 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 650i’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 650i Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2008 BMW 650i’s suspension. 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 limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 BMW 650i’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn BMW 650i shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2008 BMW 650i’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2008 BMW 650i Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, 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 650i? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does BMW 650i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 650i’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW 650i bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 650i 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 650i's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your 650i combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn BMW 650i shocks feel like? Worn 650i shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 650i might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 650i shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
