Does Your 2002 Subaru Impreza Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2002 Subaru Impreza, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Impreza bounces, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2002 Subaru Impreza in for steering and suspension services. We'll pinpoint the problem.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Impreza suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If parts of your Subaru Impreza suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Subaru Impreza Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2002 Subaru Impreza’s suspension. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Subaru up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Impreza’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Subaru Impreza shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2002 Subaru Impreza’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician.

Questions About 2002 Subaru Impreza 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 faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Subaru Impreza? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires 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? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Impreza’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Subaru Impreza bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Impreza to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Impreza's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Impreza's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Subaru Impreza need replacing? Worn Impreza shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
