Does Your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 5, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your ActiveHybrid 5 jolts, pulls 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 2014 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your ActiveHybrid 5 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, 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 ActiveHybrid 5

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 ActiveHybrid 5’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn BMW ActiveHybrid 5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2014 ActiveHybrid 5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my ActiveHybrid 5's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW ActiveHybrid 5? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • 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 ActiveHybrid 5’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 bouncing excessively? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
  • What do worn BMW ActiveHybrid 5 shocks feel like? 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.
