When To Get 2021 Subaru Legacy Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2021 Subaru Legacy, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Legacy bounces, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2021 Subaru Legacy, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, damper springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Legacy Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2021 Subaru Legacy’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Legacy’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, 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 2021 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.

2021 Legacy 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 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? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how 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 is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru Legacy bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Legacy goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Legacy's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Legacy combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Subaru Legacy need replacing? 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.
