Our detailed video and instructions demonstrate a complete brake job performed on a 2011 Subaru Outback Limited equipped with a 2.0L engine, and the replacement procedures will be similar on most 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Subaru Outback models. Signs that your vehicle needs a complete brake repair include hearing a squealing or grinding noise when braking, or if you notice your steering wheel shaking or your brake pedal pulsating while applying the brakes. It’s important to replace worn brake pads in your Outback and resurface or replace the brake rotors during your brake job to keep yourself and others safe on the road.

The brake pads and rotors on your 2010 to 2014 Subaru Outback are used to slow your vehicle down when you apply the brakes. As you press down on the brake pedal, your Subaru’s brake pads are pushed against the rotor’s surface, slowing the wheels for a controlled stop. If you notice vibrations in the brake pedal, or hear grinding or squealing noises when braking, or if your steering wheel shakes when you brake, these are signs your Subaru needs a complete brake job that includes new brake pads, rotors, and brake hardware. Since your Subaru’s brake pads and rotors likely have been exposed to the same amount of use and are likely to wear out at the same interval, it’s recommended that you replace the brake pads and rotors on both sides of the vehicle at the same time. Driving with worn or damaged brake pads and rotors can negatively affect your Subaru’s braking performance, extend braking distance, and may cause unsafe handling conditions that could put you in danger. Our helpful, step-by-step video and instructions can help you perform a complete brake job on your 2010 to 2014 Subaru Outback.
