Hi Mate, To be honest you would be better off buying the wheel bearings yourself and if you know someone with a garage for them just to put them on for you and charge an hours labour, Dont go to a subaru main dealer they will charge the earth i would try a motor factor who stocks that sort of part, Failing that you can try E/Bay. Not an expensive job if you know the right people, Hope this helps mate. ATB Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hily 379 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 remove the bearings and ID them by numbers on them contact your local bearing dealer and get a price most dealers supply bearings at less than 50% than the rrp you can do the same with the seals .
