Is It Time For 2000 BMW X5 Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2000 BMW X5, 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. Perhaps your X5 feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2000 BMW X5, 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 will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 your BMW X5’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW X5

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2000 BMW X5’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 2000 BMW X5 shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn BMW X5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 BMW X5 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2000 X5 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my X5's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 X5? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my BMW X5 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 X5 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow BMW service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my BMW X5 to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your X5 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 X5 to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your X5'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 can I tell if the shocks on my BMW X5 are bad? Worn X5 shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your X5 might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your X5 shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
