When To Get 1994 Subaru SVX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 1994 Subaru SVX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Perhaps your SVX feels bouncy, 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 1994 Subaru SVX in for steering and suspension repairs. 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 dampeners, coil springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your SVX suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your SVX steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Subaru SVX Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Your 1994 Subaru SVX’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 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 SVX’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Subaru SVX shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 1994 Subaru SVX suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1994 SVX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my SVX's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Subaru SVX? 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 the tires connect with the road how Subaru intended.
  • Does my Subaru SVX power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your SVX is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Subaru SVX to have a bouncy ride? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru SVX 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 SVX's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your SVX'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 do worn Subaru SVX shocks feel like? If your SVX shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your SVX might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
