Is It Time For 2010 Subaru Forester Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2010 Subaru Forester, 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 Forester jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2010 Subaru Forester in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Forester suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Subaru Forester’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Forester Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2010 Subaru Forester suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Subaru Forester’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Subaru Forester shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2010 Subaru Forester suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2010 Forester Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Forester's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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 Forester? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Subaru intended.
  • When should I have my Subaru Forester power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Forester’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Subaru Forester 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Forester to dip forward when I apply the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Forester 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 are the signs that the shocks on my Subaru Forester need replacing? If your Forester shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Forester might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
