When To Get 2020 Subaru Forester Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2020 Subaru Forester, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Forester bounces, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2020 Subaru Forester, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

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, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Subaru Forester 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 Forester Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2020 Subaru Forester’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and 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 2020 Subaru Forester shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Subaru Forester shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2020 Subaru Forester suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

Questions About 2020 Subaru Forester 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.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Subaru Forester? 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.
  • When should I have my Subaru Forester power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Forester’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru Forester bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru Forester might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Forester tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Forester 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 can I tell if the shocks on my Subaru Forester are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Forester feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Forester travels over minor bumps.
