Hey guys; I’ve got a 2010 xt with a Flatout GR40 suspension kit - I’m having a heck of a time finding front control arms that can accommodate the height I’m looking for while maintaining alignment and not destroying bushings while shredding tires. Can someone point me in the right direction to...

Hi there! I have Forester wilderness and have a shop installed my ironman 4x4 suspension. The shop did the alignment after the lift onstall and they were able to put the rear in spec but the front is a little bit out of spec but he disclose it to me. Then this morning, I noticed that the front...

Hi Everyone, I got my alignment done at the dealership last week due to my vehicle pulling & the steering wheel not sitting straight. I just wanted to ask folks who are well-versed in this area to take a look at the results & let me know if their recommendation is valid or if I should get a...

Hi, I plan to change my tires soon (almost 49k on my stock Yokohama Geolander) plus the Subaru dealer recommended a wheel alignment at 48k service which I declined. Is it worth purchasing lifetime wheel alignment at Firestone for $199? I will keep this Subaru till it dies on me :p. Just...

My wife's 2015 Forester XT was aligned recently. It was aligned after the rear coil springs were replaced because of the WUT-05 service program. The alignment was charged for, should the alignment have been included in the WUT-05 service program? I noticed the vehicle steers to the right when...

Hello. I am new to this forum. So i dont know if this is the right place. But here it goes. I have a 2004 forester 2.5 non turbo automatic. I am replacing the ball joint. Everything was going fine, i got the ball joint out of the knuckle and just had to get it out of the lower control arm. I...

Hi all, I've recently purchased a 2008 MY09 XS Premium, with 95,000km (59,000 miles), and it all seemed pretty good when i purchased it (from a private seller, not dealer), but while i'm handy with tools, i'm not a mechanic by any means. I took it in to my local dealer a few days after i got...

When turning right in a parking lot there is a loud bang in the front right wheel well. Does not happen when turning left. Does not happen while driving on the street. I turned the wheel all the way right and got out of the car. Turns out there was a heavy positive camber when turning right...

Hey all, I bought my forester a few months ago and never had any problems but would hear a popping noise in the front if I went over a bump while going slower and turning. Always consistent and the pop happens whatever side I turn. Today I got some new wheels and tires installed and the previous...

Just had my 2006 inspected and they found extensive rust on the front passenger side subframe. Seemed mostly around the bolts, but it is clear through. The car only has 55,000 miles, so worth fixing. They got the part ($296 OEM), no problem, going to have the mechanic do it. He says will be...

So I haven't done this yet but I'm looking at some serious changes to my suspension, lift, tires, and a lot of the components underneath. I'm planning on changing OEM struts and springs to the Eibach 1" lift springs on Bilstein B6 struts with 1" rear rallitek strut extenders with an ADF 2" lift...

I got Crossclimate+s put on today and the boys at the tire shop (so many new hires) didn't want to change the symmetrical toe in the back since it had 0.00 thrust angle. The car didn't need alignment according to them (front alignment is included with the tires, I had paid for rear but will ask...

Hey everyone, My sisters 2010 Forester was in an accident about a year or so ago when she was off to school, she had taken the car to a local repair shop by the recommendation of a teacher, they did a scumbag repair and used junkyard parts that were probably worse than what was on the car...

So I just changed out my factory tires today on my 2017 Forester 2.5i Touring at roughly 25,000 miles and they were terribly worn (picture included) for the mileage. I've had them rotated twice in the 25,000 mile lifespan. The tire guys at Costco said I had an alignment issue, and when I called...

Sob story, looking for any advice! Got a 2016 Forester Touring with power lift gate, 22k miles, 4 years old, operated only in sunny Southern California (benign weather) as a family car. About a month ago the auto lift gate wouldn't close fully. Door would motor down, try a bit to close, fail...
