My front passenger side wheel bearing is making a fair amount of noise (Im fairly certain its the problem)
Anyway, I was wondering, is it worth trying to do the work myself? (Ill have to learn how to do it first) or, just better/easier to put it in to a workshop/service centre to get done? (car is a MY02)

need to press in the new bearing.

might be easier getting a workshop to put that in, or buy a 2nd hand hub and bolt that in yourself.

my new wheel bearing cost $406 from subaru, fml.

was that fitted or just bearing supplied?

Get non genuine bearings = big savings

they are easy to do yourself if you have the correct equipment and experience, if not then i wouldnt attempt one. Take the steering knuckle out yourself and take it to a workshop for them to do.

Thanks guys.
Ill have a look at my options tomorrow, maybe make a few calls.

Ill see what Im going to do first, but thanks, I may PM you if I need someone to do the work.


Sounds like my car is going to get some much needed TLC. Been neglected lately.
So far planned for this week......
Fix wheel bearing
New Plugs
New Battery? (depending on $$)
New Brake Pads
Wash & Polish

A complete 2nd hand GD hub from JWS will be far far easier

30 min job if that....
