2020 Subaru WRX Alignment: Specs & Service

Those intervals are general guidance, while the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule for the 2020 Subaru WRX calls for steering and suspension inspection every 12,000 miles. An inspection can identify wear that may affect alignment before an adjustment is attempted. Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton can measure the current angles and explain whether service is needed.

• Inspect steering and suspension every 12,000 miles.
• Consider an alignment after suspension work.
• Have the angles checked after a major pothole impact.

Wheels that are out of alignment can scrub the tires as the vehicle rolls, wearing the tread unevenly and affecting steering position. A flat-road pull or steering wheel that is not centered while driving straight is a reason to schedule an inspection. Mike Shaw Subaru can measure all four wheel angles on your WRX.

• Vehicle pulls to one side on a flat road.
• Steering wheel sits off center while driving straight.
• One edge of a tire wears faster than the other.

The service begins with an inspection of tires, steering, and suspension components for wear that could hold an alignment out of specification. The current angles are measured against the factory specification so you can learn whether an adjustment is needed before paying for one. Service is available at Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton.

• Measure camber, caster, and toe.
• Inspect tires, steering, and suspension components.
• Adjust alignment angles where the suspension allows.

A proper inspection looks for steering and suspension wear before alignment angles are adjusted. If a component is worn, the technician can explain how it may affect the measured angles or cause the condition to return. Mike Shaw Subaru will tell you what the inspection finds before additional work is recommended.

• Inspect steering and suspension components first.
• Check for worn tie rods, ball joints, or struts.
• Review whether an adjustment can hold specification.

A WRX that tracks straight may not need an immediate adjustment, but measuring the angles can identify uneven settings before tire wear becomes obvious. The inspection also checks tires, steering, and suspension components that may affect alignment. Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton can measure the angles before you decide on an adjustment.

• Check after a major pothole impact.
• Check after suspension work or component replacement.
• Check when tire wear becomes uneven.

The measurement helps show whether an adjustment is needed before you pay for one. The inspection also considers tire, steering, and suspension wear that could affect the result. Schedule an appointment with Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton for a direct assessment of your WRX.

• Measure all four wheel alignment angles.
• Compare the readings with factory specification.
• Inspect components that could affect alignment.

Before adjustment, the tires, steering, and suspension components are inspected for wear that could hold the alignment out of specification. That check is important for a performance-oriented sedan such as the 2020 Subaru WRX because an alignment adjustment cannot correct a worn component. Uneven tire wear, pulling on a flat road, or an off-center steering wheel should be discussed during the inspection.
