Imagine your BMW 5 Series car shaking into pieces—wouldn’t it look awful? Your car is made up of tons of metals that can be disintegrated, especially if you are used to driving your car at top speeds. It’s a good thing that your car is equipped with a BMW 5 Series suspension—the prime mechanism that prevents your precious car from crumbling into worthless pieces of metal. It plays two important roles. One is to provide you with a comfortable ride. The second one is to keep the car wheels in firm contact with the road.

Your BMW 5 Series suspension plays a huge factor in your car’s safety, comfort and road handling. But it would not be able to perform its intended function if not for the various components comprising it. A typical suspension is composed of coil springs, frame or chassis, struts, leaf springs, dampeners, torsion bars, anti-sway bars and shock absorbers. When these subcomponents are all in good working condition, you can be sure that your car will maintain excellent road control and smooth ride.

There are also different types of suspensions—the dependent suspension, independent suspension, and semi-independent suspension. Although they all serve the same function, they differ in terms of the ability of the opposite wheels to independently move from each other. The type of suspension system installed on your car will depend on the specifications provided by the manufacturer.

Dependent suspensions are normally composed of a live axle that is used to secure the wheels that are perpendicular to the axle and are parallel to each other. The camber of the opposite wheel changes in the same way whenever the camber of one wheel changes. On the other hand, independent suspensions do not affect the opposite wheel because it allows the wheels to rise and fall on their own. Finally, semi-independent suspensions use jointed axles on drive wheels, connecting the wheels with a solid member.

When the time comes that your stock suspension has been completely worn out, do not think twice on replacing it with a new one.
