You only need to jack up one wheel at a time, no need to lift the whole car. The shuddering should be treated as a separate issue but could possibly be related.
Thanks for the details on all this everyone. You have all be quite helpful in providing ideas. I'll be sure to post back when stanly subaru tells me what the problem is. I just hope its nothing serious and/or expensive and that the tires are the same size. I have a feeling the tires might cost me almost $800 (200 each). I hope I'm very wrong.
