Frequently Asked Questions

9 common questions answered

What are the signs my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek needs an alignment?Common signs include pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel and uneven tire wear on one edge.

Wheels that are out of alignment can scrub the tires as the vehicle rolls, accelerating tread wear and changing how the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek tracks. Drivers may also notice vibration at speed. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can measure the current angles against factory specifications before recommending an adjustment.

  • The vehicle pulls on a flat road.
  • The steering wheel is not centered while driving straight.
  • One edge of a tire wears faster than the other.
What's included in a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek four-wheel alignment?A four-wheel alignment measures camber, caster and toe on all four wheels and adjusts them to the manufacturer's specification where the suspension allows.

The service begins with an inspection of the tires, steering and suspension components for wear that could prevent the alignment from holding. Measuring all four wheels helps identify whether the steering concern involves more than a single angle. The results show whether an adjustment is needed before payment for one.

  • Camber, caster and toe measurement on all four wheels.
  • Inspection of tires, steering and suspension components.
  • Adjustment back to manufacturer specification where possible.
How often should I get an alignment on my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek?The manufacturer's maintenance schedule calls for steering and suspension inspection every 12,000 miles.

An inspection can identify wear or an alignment concern before it causes more uneven tire wear. An alignment check is also useful after the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek encounters a significant pothole or receives steering or suspension work. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley measures the angles to determine whether adjustment is necessary.

  • Inspect steering and suspension every 12,000 miles.
  • Check alignment after a major pothole impact.
  • Have the angles checked after related suspension work.
How do I know if my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek alignment problem needs more than just an alignment?Worn steering or suspension components can prevent an alignment from holding, so those parts should be inspected before adjustment.

Tires, steering components and suspension parts are checked for wear that could keep the angles out of specification. A worn part may need attention before an alignment can deliver a lasting result. The inspection helps distinguish an angle adjustment from a component-related concern.

  • Inspect steering components for wear.
  • Inspect suspension components before adjustment.
  • Check tires for wear that may indicate an alignment issue.
Is an alignment worth it for my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek if it tracks straight?An alignment is most useful when the vehicle shows symptoms, has uneven tire wear or has had steering and suspension work.

A vehicle that tracks straight may not need an adjustment at every tire service. However, measuring camber, caster and toe can identify an angle concern before the steering feels noticeably different. The inspection also checks for tire, steering and suspension wear that may affect alignment results.

  • Check for uneven tire wear.
  • Consider an inspection after a major pothole impact.
  • Check alignment after steering or suspension work.

What's Included in a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek Four-Wheel AlignmentThe service starts with a review of the tires, steering and suspension components. This inspection matters because worn parts can keep an alignment from staying within specification. The technician then measures camber, caster and toe on all four wheels. These angles describe how each wheel meets the road and how the wheels point in relation to one another.

Where the suspension allows, the angles are adjusted back to the manufacturer's specification. Measuring first helps show whether the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek needs an adjustment before payment for one. It also helps identify a concern that may require attention beyond alignment service, such as tire, steering or suspension wear. The process focuses on the symptoms drivers commonly notice: pulling, an off-center steering wheel and faster wear on one tire edge.

Alignment service is available through schedule service at Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley. The dealership is at 4720 W 24th St in Greeley, near the US-34 Business corridor and Greeley Junction neighborhood. Call 970-373-0692 to discuss an alignment inspection.

2020 Subaru Crosstrek Alignment SpecificationsA wheel alignment evaluates three primary angles: camber, caster and toe. Camber describes the wheel's inward or outward tilt, caster relates to steering-axis angle, and toe describes whether the wheels point slightly inward or outward relative to one another. On the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, these measurements are taken across all four wheels, with adjustments made back to the manufacturer's specification where the suspension allows.

Before measuring, the tires, steering and suspension components are inspected for wear that could hold the alignment out of specification. This step is important after a major pothole impact or when the vehicle pulls on a flat road. It can also help explain an off-center steering wheel or tire tread that wears faster on one edge. The inspection determines whether an alignment adjustment is appropriate or whether a worn component requires attention first.
