When To Get 2010 Subaru Outback Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2010 Subaru Outback, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Outback jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2010 Subaru Outback in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. 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 parts of your Subaru Outback 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 Outback Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2010 Subaru Outback’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2010 Subaru Outback’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying, or rocking forward and backward could all be indicators of worn Subaru Outback shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Outback’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2010 Subaru Outback Steering & Suspension

  • 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. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Subaru Outback? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Subaru Outback power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Outback is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Subaru Outback bouncing excessively? 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Subaru Outback need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Outback feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Outback travels over minor bumps.
