When To Get 2011 Subaru Tribeca Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2011 Subaru Tribeca, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Tribeca feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2011 Subaru Tribeca, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your Tribeca steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Subaru Tribeca

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 2011 Subaru Tribeca’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your Tribeca’s shocks and struts since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking forward and backward could all be signs of worn Subaru Tribeca shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2011 Subaru Tribeca’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride.

2011 Tribeca Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Subaru's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need 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 Tribeca? Rotation and alignment are all about making small tweaks that have a big impact. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires come into contact with the road in the way Subaru intended.
  • When should I have my Subaru Tribeca power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your power steering fluid needs to be filled, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru Tribeca bouncing excessively? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Tribeca to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Tribeca tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Tribeca'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.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Subaru Tribeca are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Tribeca feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Tribeca travels over minor bumps.
