Wheel Alignment and Why it Needs Routine Maintenance Explained
Wheel alignment involves angles called the camber, caster, and toe-in and determines how your wheels are pointed and tires grip the road. A vehicle with aligned wheels naturally drives straight with tires pointed straight, opposite wheels parallel, and tires facing the road at 180 degrees for optimum traction. The wheel maintenance issue is that the suspension components loosen, causing wheel angles to move outside of specifications. Wheel alignment service is expected maintenance due to the angles getting knocked out of specifications from driving incidents such as hitting potholes or suspension components loosening with enough miles. Subaru recommends wheel alignment services every 12 months for the best results.

Subaru manufactures standard all-wheel-drive models requiring four-wheel alignment services.
