Is It Time For 2001 Subaru Legacy Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2001 Subaru Legacy, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Legacy jolts, 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 2001 Subaru Legacy in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Subaru Legacy’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Legacy Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2001 Subaru Legacy suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2001 Subaru Legacy’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Subaru Legacy shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2001 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.

2001 Legacy Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Legacy's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also help you notice when you need 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 Legacy? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Subaru intended.
  • When should I have my Subaru Legacy power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Legacy is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Subaru Legacy bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Legacy tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Legacy 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 Legacy shocks feel like? If your Legacy shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Legacy might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
