2017 Subaru Crosstrek Alignment: Specs & Service

That inspection can help identify components or tire wear that may affect alignment. An alignment measurement is also appropriate when the vehicle pulls, the steering wheel is off center or one edge of a tire wears faster. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can measure the current angles and explain whether adjustment is needed.

• Steering and suspension inspection every 12,000 miles
• Camber, caster and toe measurement on all four wheels
• Adjustment only when the measurements call for it

Misaligned wheels can scrub the tires as the vehicle rolls, which may wear the tread more quickly on one edge. A technician can inspect the tires, steering and suspension before measuring all four wheel angles. This approach helps separate an alignment concern from a worn component that may need attention first.

• 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. Current angles are measured on all four wheels so the technician can determine whether an adjustment is appropriate. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley focuses on showing the vehicle's measured condition before recommending work.

• Camber, caster and toe measurement
• Adjustment to manufacturer's specification where possible
• Inspection for tire, steering and suspension wear

A suspension and steering inspection should come before adjustment when the vehicle pulls or the tires wear unevenly. If a component has excessive wear, correcting only the wheel angles may not resolve the concern for long. The service team can explain what the inspection finds and identify whether an alignment adjustment is appropriate.

• Inspect steering and suspension components first
• Check for worn tie rods, ball joints or struts
• Measure wheel angles before recommending adjustment

A vehicle that tracks straight may not need an adjustment at every tire service. Measuring the angles can still clarify whether the wheels are within the manufacturer's specification before adjustment is recommended. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can inspect the tires and suspension and explain the measured result.

• Check for uneven tread wear
• Inspect steering and suspension components
• Measure camber, caster and toe before adjustment

The service includes measurement of camber, caster and toe on all four wheels, along with inspection of tires, steering and suspension components. Booking lets the technician measure the current angles against the manufacturer's specification so you can learn whether adjustment is needed before paying for one.

Common driver observations include pulling to one side, a steering wheel that is not centered while driving straight and faster wear along one edge of a tire. These symptoms can result from wheel-angle changes or from component wear, so measuring first helps identify the appropriate service. The technician can explain the readings and whether adjustment is needed before work is performed.
