When To Get 2000 Subaru Outback Suspension Service

When you first drove your 2000 Subaru Outback, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Outback jolts, leans 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 2000 Subaru Outback in for steering and suspension services. 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 take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shocks, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Outback steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Outback Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2000 Subaru Outback’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. 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 Outback’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Subaru Outback shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2000 Subaru Outback suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician.

2000 Outback Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Subaru's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why should my Subaru Outback get regular tire rotations and wheel alignments? Regularly rotate tires and adjust wheel alignment. Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Subaru Outback power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Outback is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Subaru's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Subaru Outback bounce so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Outback to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Outback front end dip forward when I brake? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Outback'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.
  • How do I know if I have worn Subaru Outback shocks? Worn Outback shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
