When To Get 2005 BMW 745Li Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2005 BMW 745Li, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 745Li feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2005 BMW 745Li in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 745Li’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.

BMW 745Li Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 BMW 745Li suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. 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 745Li’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW 745Li shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 BMW 745Li suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2005 BMW 745Li Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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.
  • Why should my BMW 745Li get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW 745Li power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 745Li is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW 745Li bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your 745Li 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 745Li's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 745Li'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 745Li are bad? Worn 745Li shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your 745Li might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your 745Li shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
