When To Get 2013 BMW X5 Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2013 BMW X5, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your X5 jolts, leans 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 2013 BMW X5 in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your X5 suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your X5 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.

BMW X5 Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2013 BMW X5 suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your BMW up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2013 BMW X5’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn BMW X5 shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2013 BMW X5 suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2013 X5 Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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. 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.
  • When does BMW X5 power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your X5’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per BMW's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my BMW X5 bouncing 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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 do I know if I have worn BMW X5 shocks? If your X5 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 X5 might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
