Subaru Outback (BR): Wheel balance
Each wheel was correctly balanced when your vehicle was new, but the wheels will
become unbalanced as the tires become worn during use. Wheel imbalance causes the
steering wheel to vibrate slightly at certain vehicle speeds and detracts from the
vehicle’s straight-line stability. It can also cause steering and suspension system
problems and abnormal tire wear. If you suspect that the wheels are not correctly
balanced, have them checked and adjusted by your SUBARU dealer. Also have them adjusted
after tire repairs and after tire rotation.
NOTE
Loss of correct wheel alignment* causes the tires to wear on one side and reduces
the vehicle’s running stability. Contact your SUBARU dealer if you notice abnormal
tire wear.
*: The suspension system is designed to hold each wheel at a certain alignment
(relative to the other wheels and to the road) for optimum straight-line stability
and cornering performance.
