Why Is Subaru Outback Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Subaru Outback’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Subaru. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Subaru specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. When you bring in your 2002 Subaru Outback, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Subaru recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Subaru Outback Wheel Alignment?

It's a good idea to have your Subaru Outback alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2002 Subaru Outback: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. Unfortunately, you won't see any warning lights on your Outback dashboard if your wheel alignment is off.
