How Does Subaru Forester Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Subaru Forester's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Subaru intended them to. When your suspension is aligned to Subaru’s optimal measurements, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2017 Subaru Forester, we’ll perform an alignment check first. 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 Should I Get Subaru Forester Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Subaru Forester alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 2017 Subaru Forester: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Forester dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.

How Much Does an Alignment for Subaru Forester Cost?

Let’s talk numbers: Subaru Forester wheel alignment might be more budget-friendly than you think. Over the years, it could actually save you money. Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Optimal wheel alignment could also lead to fewer auto repairs in the future. Call a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care to get an estimate for 2017 Subaru Forester wheel alignment costs today.
