Does Your 1991 Subaru Legacy Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first bought your 1991 Subaru Legacy, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Legacy feels bouncy, pulls 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 1991 Subaru Legacy 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Legacy suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Subaru Legacy’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 Legacy Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1991 Subaru Legacy suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1991 Subaru Legacy’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Subaru Legacy shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 1991 Subaru Legacy’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1991 Legacy Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Legacy's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Subaru Legacy? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. 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.
  • Does my Subaru Legacy power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Legacy’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 Legacy bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Legacy to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Legacy's nose dive down when I hit 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.
  • What do worn Subaru Legacy shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Legacy feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Legacy travels over minor bumps.
