When To Get 2017 Subaru WRX Suspension Service

During the first few years you had your 2017 Subaru WRX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your WRX jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2017 Subaru WRX in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, axle bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue 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 Subaru WRX’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.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your Subaru WRX

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2017 Subaru WRX suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. 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 WRX’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, swaying from side to side, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Subaru WRX shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2017 Subaru WRX’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2017 WRX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Subaru's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated 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? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When should I have my Subaru WRX power steering fluid checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your WRX is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per Subaru's recommendations to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • What can cause my Subaru WRX to have a bouncy ride? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your WRX to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my WRX tilt forward when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your WRX combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What do worn Subaru WRX shocks feel like? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your WRX feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your WRX travels over minor bumps.
