Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my i5's steering and 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 i5?

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.

Does my BMW i5 power steering fluid need to be checked?

Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your i5 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.

Why is my BMW i5 bouncing so much?

If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your i5 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.

What can cause the front end of my i5 to dip forward when I apply the brakes?

The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your i5'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 are the signs that the shocks on my BMW i5 need replacing?

If your i5 shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your i5 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.

When To Get 2024 BMW i5 Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2024 BMW i5, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your i5 feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2024 BMW i5 in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 parts of your BMW i5 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

BMW i5 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2024 BMW i5’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.

But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2024 BMW i5’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW i5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2024 BMW i5 suspension 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.
