Just took my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek in for a simple oil change and to replace a reverse light. The mechanic came back with an immediate warning: I urgently need to replace the Front Suspension Control Arm on both sides. The estimate for that is around $1,600. Here is my situation: I work fully remote now, so my driving is minimal. However, I am planning a multi-state road trip soon, and 85% of that drive will be highway. My Crosstrek is only at 68,000 miles, and I bought it from the dealership at 55,000. It seems ridiculously early for a control arm replacement to be "urgent." How truly urgent is this front suspension issue? #SubaruCrosstrek #MechanicAdvice #CarRepair #UrgentRepair
