2002 Forester, noisy rear end at highway speed, a little bit noisier right rear than left. Wheel bearings? 166K miles, just bought it. Otherwise, in fantastic shape with new clutch and radiator. If bearings, is this an expensive repair, and independent mechanic vs dealer? I'm used to driving diesel trucks for > 500K miles now. Would appreciate a Temecula/Corona (I-15) referral, thanks. Oh, no leaks from the rear diff, or anywhere else for that matter. No difference around corners. Thanks, folks. I've always wanted a Subaru and put several thousand miles on a friend's vintage Outback.
