Rear wheel bearing replacement 2007 forester

Featured Replies

Yes, anything but the dealer.

 

I'd try to find a local independent transmission shop and call them. 

 

Too many stories about dealers trying to be everything to every car and messing up on the particulars.

george - if you have moderate skills with a wrench, consider taking the knuckle off and take it and your new parts to a local machine shop to swap the bearing. It's a hybrid move between full DIY and farming it out completely. probably save you a coupla hundred $$

Thanks for the advice 1lucky Texan. I think that that may be the most prudent advice.

Try your local 'Canadian Tire' store.

I had my 2002 rear wheel bearings done there. They were cheaper than the 3 Subaru dealers that I contacted, and they did it the very next day, whereas the dealers wanted about a week's notice.
