cvincent Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana tom Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Run them till they rumble, then change them out when the noise bothers you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvincent Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Depends on year, my '03 outback has press-in fronts and bolt-in rear wheel bearings. Fronts a real pain, rears not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocei77 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Our bearings are sealed. As stated run until you know something is wrong, then replace. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
