2019 Subaru Forester Alignment: Specs & Service

That inspection can help identify wear that may hold the alignment out of specification. An alignment check is also useful when the Forester pulls to one side, the steering wheel is off center, or one edge of a tire wears faster. Mike Shaw Subaru can measure the current angles and explain whether adjustment is needed.

• Inspect steering and suspension every 12,000 miles.
• Check for uneven tire wear.
• Measure alignment angles before an adjustment.

Wheels that are out of alignment can scrub the tires as the vehicle rolls, creating uneven tread wear. The steering may also feel off center while driving straight on a flat road. A measurement at Mike Shaw Subaru can show whether the angles need adjustment or whether another steering or suspension concern should be inspected.

• Vehicle pulls to one side on a flat road.
• Steering wheel sits off center while driving straight.
• Tire tread wears faster on one edge.

The service begins with an inspection of the tires, steering, and suspension for wear that could affect alignment results. The technician then measures the wheel angles and makes adjustments where possible. This process helps identify whether the Forester needs an alignment adjustment or further inspection.

• Camber, caster, and toe measurement.
• Adjustment toward manufacturer specification where allowed.
• Inspection of tires, steering, and suspension components.

An alignment service includes checking those components for wear that could prevent the angles from staying within specification. If the Forester continues to pull or wear a tire unevenly, the inspection can help identify whether the issue involves more than wheel angles. Mike Shaw Subaru will measure the alignment and explain the service indicated by the results.

• Inspect tires for uneven tread wear.
• Inspect steering components for wear.
• Inspect suspension components that can affect alignment.
