Does Your 2021 Subaru WRX STI Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2021 Subaru WRX STI, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your WRX STI jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2021 Subaru WRX STI in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

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 parts, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your WRX STI 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 WRX STI Suspension Shocks or Strut Replacement

Your 2021 Subaru WRX STI’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. 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 WRX STI’s shocks and struts since many factors affect how fast and severely they wear. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth could all be indicators of worn Subaru WRX STI shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your WRX STI’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2021 Subaru WRX STI Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Subaru's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your 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 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 connect with the road how 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 WRX STI’s power steering fluid is low, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • What can cause my Subaru WRX STI to have a bouncy ride? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your WRX STI 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.
  • What can cause the front end of my WRX STI to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your WRX STI'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 WRX STI are bad? Worn WRX STI shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your WRX STI might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your WRX STI shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
