Is It Time For 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your ActiveHybrid 5 jolts, drifts 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 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5, bring it in for suspension and steering service. 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 system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your ActiveHybrid 5 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your BMW ActiveHybrid 5’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 ActiveHybrid 5 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn BMW ActiveHybrid 5 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5’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.

2012 ActiveHybrid 5 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ActiveHybrid 5's steering and 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.
  • Why should my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your ActiveHybrid 5 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • What can cause the front end of my ActiveHybrid 5 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your ActiveHybrid 5 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 ActiveHybrid 5 shocks feel like? Worn ActiveHybrid 5 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your ActiveHybrid 5 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your ActiveHybrid 5 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
