Does Your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Crosstrek jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek in for steering and suspension repairs. 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Subaru Crosstrek 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 Crosstrek Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Subaru Crosstrek shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Crosstrek's steering and 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Subaru Crosstrek? 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 come into contact with the road in the way Subaru intended.
  • Does my Subaru Crosstrek power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Crosstrek is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Subaru Crosstrek bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Crosstrek tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Crosstrek 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 Crosstrek shocks feel like? Worn Crosstrek shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Crosstrek might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Crosstrek shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
