Does Your 2005 BMW 745i Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2005 BMW 745i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 745i bounces, leans 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 2005 BMW 745i in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your 745i suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 745i’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 745i

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2005 BMW 745i’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 limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2005 BMW 745i’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 indicators of worn BMW 745i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 745i’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2005 745i Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my 745i's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 745i? 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 does BMW 745i power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 745i is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 745i bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 745i to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my 745i to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 745i shocks? If your 745i 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 745i might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
