Centred around stability.
Control around every corner.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
A wealth of components harmoniously interacting with each other, while instantly changing the way they respond based on
your input. And all with one goal in mind: perfect handling.
WHAT IT DOES:
With each part, big and small, working in concert with the rest, the Outback achieves a unique balance between taut response
and a smooth ride. Giving you responsiveness with security, no matter the conditions.
GREATER STABILITY AND COMFORT
FRONT SUSPENSION
Outback elevates the inherent advantages of its signature Subaru
layout—balance, composure and response—with Subaru DC 3. The body
uses more high-tensile steel in critical areas to achieve high strength
with flexibility. Handling is made even more surefooted and stable,
while the ride is made more comfortable.
Working in harmony with Subaru DC 3 , Outback’s strut-type front
suspension features the highly rigid Cradle Mount System, a wide tread
and long wheel travel. Together they deliver flatter cornering as well as
a quieter, more comfortable ride over a variety of road surfaces.
REAR SUSPENSION
SMOOTHER, QUIETER RIDE
A highly rigid Cradle Mount front-end structure delivers an accurate,
natural steering feel while allowing the engine and suspension to be
effectively isolated from the cabin for a smoother, quieter ride. The
result is everything that makes driving a pleasure: confidence with
comfort, sportiness with safety, and elegance with efficiency—all in
perfect balance.
Expertly balancing sporty handling with refinement, Outback’s double
wishbone rear suspension is the perfect complement to Subaru DC 3,
handling rough roads and sharp corners with poise and precision.
To maximize stabilit y and provide increased responsiveness, the
suspension features pillow ball bushings in the lower control arms.
