08SpecB_DE Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Moog makes a good hub assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 So much bad info out there. Unless Moog has changed something since I did my front, do not buy Moog for the front. Timken and OEM both work well for the front. Find the post in here about the ones that work, see post 162. And 163. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/idea-web-links-saved-various-parts-219238.html Also see the DIY forum, there's a threads there that talks about replacing them and what works and why I found Moogs don't work in the front. My wagon has Moogs on the rears. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

r.lee89 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I think oem is SKF. SKF or timken. I have the moog asian spec for the front and rear they seem to be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I cant imagine much difference between a moog front or rear hub assembly. I've had one in the rear for 4 years or so with no issues. I think install error is a greater cause of premature failure than it is being an inferior part. Your link doesn't work Max but I'm curious to read about the bad info.

whitetiger Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Timken from rockauto.com installed at least a dozen of them over the years on mine and other 4th gen legacy/outbacks. front - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1572284&cc=1430733&jsn=402 rear - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1119780&cc=1430733&jsn=400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SpecB_DE Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Still no info regarding why Moog doesn't work in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 CC doesn't work, it will work briefly then begin to surge and then CEL comes on. I think I posted that in the DIY thread a long time ago.
