When To Get 2019 BMW X5 Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2019 BMW X5, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your X5 feels bouncy, pulls 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 2019 BMW X5 in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW X5

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2019 BMW X5 suspension system. 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 2019 BMW X5’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn BMW X5 shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2019 BMW X5’s 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.

2019 X5 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why should my BMW X5 get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. 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 the tires come into contact with the road in the way BMW intended.
  • 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’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 excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your X5 to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my X5 front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your X5 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.
  • What do worn BMW X5 shocks feel like? 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.
