What Can I Expect with Subaru Outback Alignment?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Subaru Outback's suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Subaru intended them to. 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 lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2004 Subaru Outback, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. 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.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Subaru Outback

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 2004 Subaru Outback: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Outback dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
