Is It Time For 1993 BMW M5 Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 1993 BMW M5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your M5 feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1993 BMW M5, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 M5 steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW M5

Your 1993 BMW M5’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. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your M5’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your BMW M5 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1993 BMW M5’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 1993 BMW M5 Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW M5? 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW M5 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 M5 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my BMW M5 bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW M5 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my M5 front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your M5'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW M5 shocks? Worn M5 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your M5 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your M5 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
