Well, the main and most common symptoms of a leaking or failed air suspension a sagging rear end. Other major clues are that your air compressor isn't working or is running way too often. Another pretty common tip off of a problem air suspension is your X5's inability to reach or maintain recommended height.

Not Good!  See how low this vehicle is riding?

Failure to repair your BMW X5 suspension system can also lead to some major safety issues, such as an air spring blowing while doing 75MPH could send the car into a spin. Really, really not good.






A faulty air suspension can cause loss of work, car rental, towing bills, excessive repair costs (especially by big car dealerships) and in general can be very frustrating and inconvenient to say the least. Bottom line: it can cost you big bucks.

"Why Did My X5 4 Wheel Air Suspension Fail?..."

The BMW X5 4 Wheel air suspension systems are subject to a lot of troubles, but the greatest enemy is time. The air spring is made with rubber parts that dry-rot in 5 to 7 years. The X5 air suspension's longevity is also determined by how much extreme heat and cold the X5 is subjected. These weather conditions and how you drive will degrade the parts of the air suspension system. The electronic devices begin to fail with age, which just intensifies the problems related to the BMW X5 air suspension.

Notice the cracks in the air bag?

As time goes by, the X5 suspension is subject to extreme wear and the sagging poor shocks and spring quality will make it difficult to properly align your X5. This will cause excessive wear to all 4 tires and will eventually ruin the great ride you deserve as a BMW X5 owner.  So you get a lousy ride and you get to buy tires alot more frequently than you should.

"What The Dealer Won't Tell You..."

With the insider information I know today, I can assure you that the OEM parts will always fail and are just another way for car dealers to "line their pockets" at your expense.

"Dealerships Have Used This Dirty Little Trick For Years..."

The dealerships and parts dealers want you to buy replacement parts because they know that your other air suspension and electronic parts are bound to fail in the very near future, forcing you to continue to buy more and more air suspension replacement parts over time.They make a killing as you grow more and more frustrated!

The stark reality is that luxury car & SUV owners like you, have been left in the dark. These replacement parts are expensive and in most cases it will be necessary for you to pay a dealership a huge wad-of-cash to install them. Further increasing the cost to get your ride fixed. Many times, you will also have to rent a car because the dealership will take days to get your air suspension working properly.

The worst part about this whole situation is that you don't have a car, the dealership takes forever to fix your ride and then the dealership will use that against you and magically find lots of other parts that “have” to be fixed. You know because it's happened to you before or to someone you know.

Don't fall for their trap...it's not pretty once they have you. They will be laughing all the way to the bank. Don't let these guys take your hard earned money. You have another option, and Strutmasters had done all the hard work for you.

Chip "The Strut Man" Lofton

1.    How is the ride?

Answer:  Not as soft and spongy as the OEM.  It’s a more firm and sportier ride.


2.    Will I have to deal with a warning light?

Answer:  No.  We have developed a module that is available for purchase that will eliminate the suspension warning light.


3.    Any drills, welding, modification needed?

Answer:  No, it’s a direct fit application.


4.    For what reason should I go with the conversion instead of the OEM equipment?

Answer:  Mainly the cost of OEM.  If you wanted to go back to the original parts you are looking at spending $500-$1000 per wheel on struts alone, and another $500-$600 on the pump.  You could do our kit for almost a quarter of the price installed.


5.    What comes with the kit? 

Answer:  On our passive preassembled units they come with struts, springs and upper mounts with bearing plates.  The other kit is just a bare strut with an electronic bypass.  The rear kit is a coil assisted shock with or without upper mounts.


6.    Do I need a spring compressor?

Answer:  No. You will not need to compress the springs.


7.    How long does it take to install the conversion?

Answer:  Normally takes 1 hour per wheel.


8.    Why go with the preassembled units?

Answer:  After a lot of miles or depending on age of vehicle, the front springs get weak from over wear and begin to collapse.  Also front bearings get worn down and cause a lot of noise when hitting bumps in the road.  The preassembled units have all new parts already on the struts, which also cuts down on the labor costs to install.


9.    What do you do with the pump and the air lines?

Answer:  You will leave everything the way it is.  You will then just leave the pump on the car as is your power steering pump as well.


10.    Will a front end alignment need to be done on this after the install is complete?

Answer:  Yes it is a very good idea to check the caster and camber.


11.    Can you do a 2 wheel kit as opposed to doing all 4 at once?

Answer:  Yes, you can but if the ride is really  bouncy and the vehicle has a poor ride, it’s a very good idea to do all four since they all are the same age.




1. How will my car ride with a conversion kit installed?

Answer:  The kits are designed to give you a dependable, smooth ride, at factory recommended ride height.  Many customers say the kits actually improve the handling and cornering on their vehicles.  We have more than 250,000 conversion kits on the road and our customers love them.


2. Can I tow a trailer?

Answer:  A vehicle converted with a Strutmasters conversion kit will tow the same capacity as it did with the original suspension.


3. How hard is it to install?

Answer:  Our thousands of authorized repair shops have told us this:  "If you can do a brake job, you can install a Strutmasters conversion kit."  They also tell us the conversion kits are easier to install than most of the original air suspension parts.  Most shops will charge about 1 hour per wheel.


4. What modifications will I have to make to the vehicle?

Answer:  Our conversion kits are designed to bolt right onto your vehicle with no welding, cutting or modifications.  Simply remove the old air suspension parts and bolt on the conversion kit.


5. How do I get the warning light off?

Answer:  Our conversion kits come with detailed instructions for installation and almost all of our kits include steps on how to bypass any electronics and suspension warning lights.




6. What makes you better than the competition?

Answer:  Some of our competitors use inferior Chinese steel and other Chinese parts.  Customers and shops have spoken and prefer the quality and durability of our parts, which are made and assembled in the United States.
Some of our competitors use coil springs off the shelf and modify them for a particular vehicle.  Reheating a steel coil spring is very bad news because it makes the spring brittle and leads to failure.


7. What if I don't have the money to convert the entire vehicle?

Answer:  Strutmasters understands that you work hard for your money.  Our owner, Chip Lofton, knows that vehicles seem to pick the worst possible time to need repair, his car failed while on vacation.  Therefore, Strutmasters offers two-wheel conversion kits on as many vehicles as possible.  We also offer a special savings for customers who convert all four wheels.


8. Why should I convert my suspension if I do not plan to keep the car?

Answer:  A Strutmasters conversion kit may help you fall in love with your vehicle all over again!  If not, a conversion kit will pay off when you decide to sell it.  A vehicle with a good ride sells for more money and you will not be hearing back from the new owner complaining that you sold them a lemon.
