Is It Time For 2017 Subaru BRZ Suspension Service?

When you first bought your 2017 Subaru BRZ, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your BRZ feels bouncy, sways 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 2017 Subaru BRZ in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Subaru BRZ suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru BRZ Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Subaru BRZ suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your BRZ’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Subaru BRZ shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2017 Subaru BRZ suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

Questions About 2017 Subaru BRZ Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Subaru's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why should my Subaru BRZ get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Subaru intended.
  • Does my Subaru BRZ power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your BRZ’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru BRZ bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your BRZ goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my BRZ to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your BRZ when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Subaru BRZ shocks? Worn BRZ shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your BRZ might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your BRZ shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
