October 28, 201213 yr I thought by bearings were bad but I pulled the axle and there is no play. But I wonder if its my cone washer? I tightened the axle nut and it was loose inside of a day. Could the cone washer be the issue?
October 29, 201213 yr Author Ah, dang. I didn't get a shot of the hub. I'll get a shot in the morning.
October 29, 201213 yr Author Okay, maybe not this morning... It was pretty dark and rainy as I left on my 75 mile commute... But, what kind of wear indicators am I looking for on the hub? The axles are new (reman, I'm guessing). I bought the car a few weeks ago off craigslist so I don't know all the things that have, or have not, been done to it. I did notice while getting tires this weekend that that the lug nuts have a significant shoulder on them as if they had been run loose or something. It was also quite difficult to get the wheels off the pilot center of the hub after removing the lug nuts. I had to us a wooden block and hammer to persuade the wheels off.
October 29, 201213 yr Author This thread is quite helpful as well. I just found it... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=136936 The local Subaru dealer says 3 days to get a new cone and thrust washer. $13.90 for the washer, $12.77 for the cone.
