When To Get 2003 Subaru Legacy Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2003 Subaru Legacy, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Legacy feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2003 Subaru Legacy in for suspension and steering service. 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 check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem 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 Legacy suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Legacy Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2003 Subaru Legacy suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 getting your 2003 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 rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Subaru Legacy shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2003 Subaru Legacy 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 Legacy Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Legacy's steering and 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 Legacy? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how Subaru intended.
  • When does Subaru Legacy power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll top it off per Subaru's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Subaru Legacy bounce so much? 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 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
