Adjustability
On a 2025 Subaru Outback, only front and rear toe are adjustable from the factory. Front toe is adjusted via the tie rod ends, while rear toe is adjusted with an eccentric bolt on the rear lower control arm. Front camber and caster are not adjustable without aftermarket parts.
If the front camber or caster is out of specification, it usually indicates that a component is bent or damaged. However, you can install aftermarket camber bolts (also known as "crash bolts") in the strut-to-knuckle mounting holes to allow for a small amount of camber adjustment. For more significant adjustments, or for caster correction, you may need to install adjustable control arms or offset bushings.
Recommended adjustment hardware
For a 2025 Subaru Outback with front camber that's slightly out of spec, a popular solution is a set of 14mm SPC Performance camber bolts (part number 81260). These bolts are designed to replace the original non-adjustable bolts and can provide up to +/- 1.75 degrees of camber adjustment. For more severe alignment issues, or if you've lifted or lowered your Outback, adjustable control arms from brands like SuperPro or Whiteline may be necessary.
Symptoms of bad alignment
A misaligned vehicle can exhibit several symptoms, with uneven tire wear being the most common. Here are some typical tire-wear patterns and the alignment issues they may indicate:
- Feathering: When the tread blocks are worn down on one side and sharp on the other, it's often a sign of incorrect toe.
- Camber wear: This appears as excessive wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire. Positive camber will wear the outside edge, while negative camber will wear the inside edge.
- Heel/toe wear: This is a pattern of alternating high and low wear on the tread blocks, often caused by a combination of incorrect toe and camber.
Other symptoms of a bad alignment include the vehicle pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, and a "loose" or "wandering" feeling from the steering.
When to align
It's a good idea to have your vehicle's alignment checked annually, but there are certain events that should always be followed by an alignment check:
- After installing new tires: To ensure you get the most life out of your new tires.
- After suspension or steering repairs: Any time a suspension or steering component is replaced, it can affect the alignment.
- After hitting a curb or large pothole: A significant impact can easily knock the alignment out of spec.
Typical alignment cost
The cost of a four-wheel alignment can vary depending on your location and the shop you choose, but you can typically expect to pay between $100 and $200. Some shops may offer a one-time alignment, while others may offer a warranty or a multi-year alignment package.
