Does Your 2006 Subaru Baja Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2006 Subaru Baja, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Baja jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 Subaru Baja in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Baja steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Subaru Baja Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 Subaru Baja suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 getting your 2006 Subaru Baja’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Subaru Baja shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Baja’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2006 Subaru Baja Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Subaru's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Subaru Baja? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Subaru intended.
  • When should I have my Subaru Baja power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Baja’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Subaru Baja to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru Baja 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.
  • Why does my Baja's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Baja's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Subaru Baja are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Baja feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Baja travels over minor bumps.
