Gloyale Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I get conflicting info from parts catalogs as to whether 2wd and AWD rear bearings are the same for a 93 Legacy. Can anybody answer this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 After I posted this I found some more specific diagrahms. Beware buying rear wheel bearings though. It appears the auto parts stores, or some anyhow, don't show a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 They are different. The rear FWD bearings are ball bearings, while the rear AWD bearings are tapered roller bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 one other thing to note is that the chance you'll also need hubs is pretty good. If there is even a slight lip worn into the part that goes into the bearing, the new bearings will get trashed in a very short period of time.

Gloyale Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thanks to everyone with the info. I got them done and it worked out fine. The kit I bought was a Hub/Bearing assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
