When To Get 2023 Subaru Outback Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2023 Subaru Outback, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Outback jolts, pulls 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 2023 Subaru Outback in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll pinpoint the problem.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Outback suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Subaru Outback’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru Outback Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2023 Subaru Outback suspension system. 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 components work together to reduce vibration and maintain your car’s height. 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 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 routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2023 Outback Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Subaru's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • 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 connect with the road how Subaru intended.
  • Does my Subaru Outback power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Outback is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Subaru's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru Outback bouncing excessively? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Outback goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Outback's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Outback when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Subaru Outback are bad? 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.
