how often to repack wheel bearings

Featured Replies

curious what schedule the wheel bearings have to be repacked on/adjusted or is this even something that can be done on a subaru?

 

or are they run until they go bad and replaced?

 

doing searches brings up lots of threads for replacement but i am not finding any on repacking/maintenance

lol, ok

 

so from the little bit i read sounds like a pita job and a little pricey to have done even at an indie, right?

Depends on year, my '03 outback has press-in fronts and bolt-in rear wheel bearings.

 

Fronts a real pain, rears not too bad.

Our bearings are sealed.

As stated run until you know something is wrong, then replace.
