Does Your 2016 Subaru WRX STI Suspension Need Inspection?

During the first few years you had your 2016 Subaru WRX STI, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your WRX STI feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Subaru WRX STI in for steering and suspension services. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle 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 Subaru WRX STI’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Subaru WRX STI

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Subaru WRX STI suspension system. 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. But there's no set schedule for 2016 Subaru WRX STI shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Subaru WRX STI shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Subaru WRX STI’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2016 Subaru WRX STI Steering & Suspension

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my WRX STI's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Subaru WRX STI? 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 does Subaru WRX STI 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 power steering fluid needs to be filled, we’ll follow Subaru service specifications when topping it off to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Subaru WRX STI bouncing excessively? Excessive bouncing in your Subaru WRX STI 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my WRX STI to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your WRX STI 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.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Subaru WRX STI need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your WRX STI feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your WRX STI travels over minor bumps.
