Wheel Alignment Details

When you schedule a wheel alignment with us, you can expect us to adjust your Subaru's suspension to ensure all wheels make even contact with the pavement. Our team uses specialized equipment to adjust your car's suspension from every angle and returning your vehicle's suspension to its original factory standards. Our team uses technology and training to ensure your tires' angles are correctly meeting the road.

Our alignment machine determines your vehicle's current suspension angles and corrects them to the manufacturer's specifications. Three types of wheel alignments, and our team can determine the right match for your specific model, whether it's a Subaru vehicle or a car from another manufacturer.

The three types of wheel alignments include:

• Thrust Alignment: A thrust alignment is typically used for vehicles with a solid rear axle.
• Front-End Alignment: Front-end alignments are the most basic type of alignment since they only adjust the front axle. However, it may not be right for all modern cars.
• Four-Wheel Alignment: We provide four-wheel alignments when we need to use elements of the other two types of alignments. This type of alignment is most likely the type we will use for your Subaru vehicles since it is employed for most four-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles with adjustable/independent rear suspensions.

Why Get a Wheel Alignment?

Routine wheel alignments are a normal part of your vehicle's factory-recommended service schedule, helping you maximize your vehicle's longevity and letting you enjoy a better driving experience. When your wheels are out of alignment, they will make uneven contact with the road, which can lead to uneven tire wear. If left unattended, you may have to buy a new set of tires earlier than you expected to maintain traction and avoid blowouts.

Since wheel alignments stem from suspension issues, wheel alignments can maximize your vehicle's suspension lifespan. You can also enjoy improved ride comfort and handling after a wheel alignment. Vehicles that have suspension out of alignment can have symptoms like the steering wheel being off center, pulling to the right or left, and steering wheel vibrations.

We recommend scheduling a wheel alignment once a year or every other oil change, whichever comes first. You can determine the right time for a wheel alignment by consulting your owner's manual and speaking with our team of Subaru-certified technicians.
