Is It Time For 2021 Subaru Ascent Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2021 Subaru Ascent, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Ascent bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 Subaru Ascent, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Ascent steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Ascent Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2021 Subaru Ascent’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Subaru up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2021 Subaru Ascent shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Subaru Ascent shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2021 Subaru Ascent’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2021 Ascent Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Subaru's suspension? Maintaining your tires 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Subaru Ascent? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Subaru intended.
  • When does Subaru Ascent power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Ascent’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Subaru Ascent bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru Ascent might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Ascent to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Ascent 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 Subaru Ascent shocks feel like? Worn Ascent shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
