Is It Time For 2000 Subaru Legacy Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2000 Subaru Legacy, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Legacy bounces, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2000 Subaru Legacy in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Legacy steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Legacy Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2000 Subaru Legacy suspension system. 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 components work together to limit vibration and keep your Subaru up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2000 Subaru Legacy’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Subaru Legacy shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Subaru Legacy suspension 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.

2000 Legacy Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Subaru Legacy? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Subaru Legacy power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Legacy’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru Legacy bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru Legacy 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 Legacy tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Legacy'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 do worn Subaru Legacy shocks feel like? Worn Legacy shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Legacy might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Legacy shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
