Is It Time For 2022 Subaru Outback Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2022 Subaru Outback, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Outback bounces, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2022 Subaru Outback, 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’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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 an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Subaru Outback Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2022 Subaru Outback’s suspension. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Subaru up off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Outback’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Subaru Outback shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2022 Subaru Outback’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2022 Outback Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Outback's steering and 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 bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Subaru Outback? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Subaru intended.
  • When should I have my Subaru Outback power steering fluid 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 can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • What can cause my Subaru Outback to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru Outback might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Outback's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Outback 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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Subaru Outback are bad? 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.
