why is my BMW X5 F15 (2014-2019) vibrating at high speeds

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Wear safety goggles and gloves.

2. Tire Pressure Check

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure in each tire.
• Inflate or deflate tires to the recommended PSI as indicated on the driver's door jamb.

3. Tire Inspection and Rotation

• Remove the wheel covers or hubcaps if necessary.
• Inspect each tire for bulges, cuts, or uneven wear.
• Rotate tires front to back if needed to balance wear patterns.

4. Wheel Balancing

• Remove the wheels from the vehicle using a socket set.
• Take the wheels to a tire shop to perform a dynamic balance.
• Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specification (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).

5. Wheel Alignment

• Position the vehicle on an alignment rack.
• Adjust the alignment angles (toe, camber, caster) to manufacturer specifications.
• Recheck the alignment after adjustments.

6. Suspension Inspection

• Visually inspect control arms, struts, and bushings for wear or damage.
• Replace any worn components as necessary.
• Reassemble any parts that were removed during inspection.
