What Can I Expect with Subaru Forester Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Subaru Forester's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Subaru. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Subaru specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2004 Subaru Forester, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Subaru recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When to Get Subaru Forester Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Subaru Forester alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2004 Subaru Forester: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, excessive wear on only one tire, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Forester dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does It Cost for Alignment Service on My Subaru Forester?

Appropriately aligned wheels can support increased tire lifespan and fuel efficiency, meaning you could get more miles out of the same tires or tank of gas. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.

Questions About Subaru Forester Alignment

  • Where's the alignment light on my 2004 Subaru Forester? Don't wait for an 'alignment light' on your dashboard. There isn't one. Getting a professional alignment check is the easiest way to know if your Forester alignment is off.

  • How often does your Forester need a wheel alignment? Check your Forester owner's manual for Subaru's recommended interval. It's generally a good idea to check your alignment every 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on which comes first.
  • Does getting new Forester tires mean you need an alignment? It’s likely not a requirement to get an alignment when you install new tires on your Forester, but it's a smart idea to do so anyway. An alignment can help ensure even tire wear, smooth handling, and better fuel efficiency.
