Luvn737s Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I heard about upgrading the wheel bearings from a Legacy to a Forester? Any truth to the rumor and if so, how difficult is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 They're the same thing... You might be thinking about upgrading to disc brakes if your forester has drums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 At one time in the past, I had read a coupla posts about that. Dunno if it would be true anymore - maybe Subaru has already changed the part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvn737s Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think the early Foresters has a roller bearing that failed and was replaced with a tapered bearing. As I researched this I found 1) there is an improved part including the hub and 2) its a major pain to remove. Hopefully the Arizona dryness has kept the strut bolts, etc. from corroding fast.
