Max Capacity Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 It pays turning off the music in the car now and again I'm glad I caught it in time, before it did bad things as I'd be driving 90mph on the expressway ... Yes. turning of the radio is something I do from time to time. This was my first front wheel bearing. I now realize the early sign was it felt like a front tire was out of balance, only on some highway's. I even had the wheels balance twice. After the new hub the wheel shimmy stopped. A year later I got the same feeling in the steering wheel. I then replaced the other front hub. I found my rears were easier to hear with the radio off. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

fishbone Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Although I have shit tires which are very cupped and very noisy and do not recommend anyone buy them (Eagle F1 A/S), the car is now significantly quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim C Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Wow, I'm glad I found this thread. I was worried that my differentials were going south. I did not realize that it's probably wheel bearings AND covered under a TSB. Hope I can get it to the dealer before my 8th year of warranty is out. 2005 Legacy GT Limited.

Sideways the Seven Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm having a similar noise from my passenger-side front and I'm not sure whether it's the CV axle or the wheel bearing. The dealer said the axle boot was torn, but I didn't see any of that when I was doing the downpipe install. I'll have to recheck it and see. -Brandon 2007 Chevrolet Suburban LT3 1981 Chevrolet C10 LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Users seabass07 Posted September 27, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted September 27, 2013 I already went through that. I had the passenger side axle boot tear and cv joint eat itself. Replaced that and only part of the noise went away. When I changed the drivers side front bearing, it was missing several of the bearings and was nearly completely destroyed.

Sideways the Seven Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hmm..so I need to have the bearings checked before I give up and start parting out the car?

aziankingz Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Hi everyone New member here. I have been having A LOT of trouble figuring out what is going on. Just a little background.... New subaru owner, bought a used 2005 subaru legacy GT about 3 months ago. Had a bad wheel bearing, got it fixed, no more loud noise. However, in the last month or so I have started hearing a pulsating whummmmm whummmmm whummmm noise but ONLY when i hit 40 mph. The noise is also a vibration that i can feel through the gas pedal and the floor. It pulsates and is not a constant noise like it was when i had a bad wheel bearing. Also, the noise goes away after i get up to about 60 (maybe the road nosie just drowns it out, i dont know.). Anyways, I have taken it to 2 mechanics and neither could figure out what the noise was because it only happens under load. One mechanic said it was probably my differential starting to fail. The other said it could be a lot of things and that i would just have to let it get worse. I can't wait.....its annoying and I dont want it to get worse and cause any more problems. The noise doesnt change when i turn, as long as i am going 40-60, the noise is there. the noise also increased with speed, or pulsates faster when i speed up, slower when i slow down. Any ideas???? I would really appreciate any input. Thanks! Ever figure this issue out? I am having that same issue. Feeling vibration on my brake and gas pedals above 45 mph. Car is an automatic.

Bob in Chicago Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Took mine to Chicago's Mid-City Subaru for a suspected rear bearing.. 1. They found a bad rear bearing BUT that even with only 74K miles, my extended warranty ENDED 7/2013! 2. Tom Kenny their service guy gets me covered under warranty w/ SOA! No Charge. 3. I'm very pleased. Tom says he'll try to do so with other '05 owners on the LGT Board. Contact tkenny at berman.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
