When To Get 2003 Subaru Impreza Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2003 Subaru Impreza, 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 Impreza bounces, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2003 Subaru Impreza, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. 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, shock absorbers, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, axle bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, 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 a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Impreza Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2003 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 pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2003 Subaru Impreza shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Subaru Impreza shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Subaru Impreza suspension shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2003 Impreza Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • 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 alert you to the need for new 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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 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’ll top it off per Subaru's guidelines 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my Impreza to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • How do I know if I have worn Subaru Impreza shocks? Worn Impreza shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Impreza might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Impreza shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
