Does Your 2006 BMW X5 Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2006 BMW X5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your X5 jolts, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2006 BMW X5 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your X5 suspension system needs repair, 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 X5 suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, 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

Your 2006 BMW X5’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. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your X5’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW X5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2006 BMW X5 suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician.

2006 X5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my BMW's 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 X5? 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 your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my BMW X5 power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your X5 is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why does my BMW X5 bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my X5's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my BMW X5 need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your X5 feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your X5 travels over minor bumps.
