When To Get 2021 BMW M550i xDrive Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2021 BMW M550i xDrive, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your M550i xDrive jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 BMW M550i xDrive 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your M550i xDrive 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 M550i xDrive

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 BMW M550i xDrive’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2021 BMW M550i xDrive’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn BMW M550i xDrive shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2021 BMW M550i xDrive suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2021 M550i xDrive Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW M550i xDrive? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • When should I have my BMW M550i xDrive power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW M550i xDrive bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your M550i xDrive to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my M550i xDrive's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your M550i xDrive 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.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW M550i xDrive shocks? If your M550i xDrive 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 M550i xDrive might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
