Does Your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your ActiveHybrid 5 feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your ActiveHybrid 5 suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. 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 Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn BMW ActiveHybrid 5 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

2013 ActiveHybrid 5 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. 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 ActiveHybrid 5? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. 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 should I have my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your ActiveHybrid 5 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my ActiveHybrid 5 tilt forward when I hit 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 ActiveHybrid 5 shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your ActiveHybrid 5 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your ActiveHybrid 5 travels over minor bumps.
