When To Get 2001 Subaru Impreza Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2001 Subaru Impreza, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Impreza feels bouncy, pulls 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 2001 Subaru Impreza in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Subaru Impreza’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Subaru Impreza Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 2001 Subaru Impreza’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2001 Subaru Impreza shock and strut replacement since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Subaru Impreza shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2001 Subaru Impreza’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2001 Subaru Impreza Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Impreza's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Subaru Impreza? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big 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 Impreza power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Impreza’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 Impreza bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Impreza goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Impreza tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Impreza 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.
  • What do worn Subaru Impreza shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Impreza feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Impreza travels over minor bumps.
