When To Get 1991 BMW 850i Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1991 BMW 850i, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your 850i bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1991 BMW 850i, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 850i suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW 850i’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 850i

Your 1991 BMW 850i’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 850i’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW 850i shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1991 BMW 850i suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

1991 850i Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my BMW 850i? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 850i power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your 850i is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW 850i bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 850i to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 850i tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 850i'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 850i shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 850i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 850i travels over minor bumps.
