Legacy05GT Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So so so lucky that i came across this thread yesterday. Had the rear driver's side berring replaced at no cost. 97k miles, and Aug 2012 is the 8month mark so i'm glad this started making noise when it did.

Dougl33 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Does anyone know if the front wheel bearings are covered under a separate TSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gil_ong Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 do they typically replace both? i have a humming coming from back there. i suspect it the right side, but am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie_dude05 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 i believe they do. at least in my case they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Not necessarily. I had both replaced at 60,000 because both were bad. Only one was bad at 100,000 and they did only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBeefcake Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Has anyone had there replacement bearings go bad in around 15,000 miles. We had the dealer replace both rears at 95,000. They said they thought one of the fronts was on its way out, at the time, I had them leave the front alone. The fronts had seamed to be getting louder. So, last week end at 110,000 I replaced both fronts my self. Car was quieter at slow speeds, but still makes a bearing noise as you go faster, sound like its coming from the drivers side rear. Could it really be that one of the replacements only lasted 15k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Is it possible? Yes. Sucks if it really is going bad that soon. I'd hope they'd step up and do the right thing but we are talking about a car stealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serb Legacy GT Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I just had mine replaced about 2 weeks ago. No questions asked, 2005 LGT with 60k miles. It sounded like an airplane on take off! Now it's nice and quiet again! I gotta say, Napleton Subaru in Schaumburg has been pretty good for anyone in that area...they just called me to let me know they got parts in for a recall that has not been done yet on my car and will have that done too.

gil_ong Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 i'm having mine checked at Van Bortel tomorrow. gonna drop the car off in the morning and have them take a look. the lady on the phone would not commit to whether or not they'll fix it under the TSB, but i have hope that they will. they're usually very good about such things. $5 loaner/rental for the day. hope i get something fun. maybe a H6?

gil_ong Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 they replaced only the right side. hope the left one fails soon if it's going to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah, that's all well and good but did you get a loaner with an H6 or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 My fronts lasted ~13 months / 15k miles. The rears are going at 25k. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil_ong Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah, that's all well and good but did you get a loaner with an H6 or not? I got a "rental." $5 for the day. They were out of legacies and outbacks. I got a '12 forester. But at least it was familiar since my wife has an '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhow257415 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Mine went swiftly when I changed rims from 17 inch oem, to the Subaru 18 inch Spec B. rims (105K). About a month after the swap I noticed the deep continuous tone/ humming, but only on the highway. i too assumed it was coming from tire to road contact. Since then tt has gotten worse (more noticeable). Clay Subaru in Norwood, MA. says that it's only the drivers side rear bearing. He only had my car for 2 hours, how the hell would he know its not both? I now have 115k, should I change both rear bearings or one??? Doing the work myself!!!

subby Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Would I be covered for warranty because a couple of days ago I hear noise whenever I accelerate and start the car. The sound seems to be coming from the rear driver side. I bought this car used at 15k miles from a dealership, but not a subaru one and now its at about 80k miles. How fast does this have to be fixed because if I would have to pay out of my own pocket I would have to wait til I have the money. As well as does anyone know how much it would cost if I had to get it fixed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would replace both at the same time if I were you. I say that because you may just want to spend one day working on your car in the garage instead of two. You also may have to rent a puller/impact to get the wheel bearing assembly off the car. I had both of mine (rear) replaced under warranty at 105,000 miles. After speaking with SOA and pouring a little sugar on it, they agree to split the cost with me. A few months later, one of the replacement wheel bearings went bad after only 6,000 miles of use. SOA told me I was SOL and I ended up replacing the bad wheel bearing myself. In the mean time, our rear wheel bearings have been superseded by a new design/part #. I suppose it was redesigned to address the bad wheel bearing issue, but that is speculation on my part. FYI - Instead of buying them at the dealer - Try RockAuto.com and choose Timken as the brand. These are identical to the new Subaru rear wheel bearings. May save you a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
