Are you looking for somewhere to just supply the bearings, or supply and fit?

And if you want new, just go with Subuaru OEM, from any Subaru dealership. I always go genuine parts, and new.

+1 with Matto!
No point getting second hand, just buy new ones.
You will find Subaru use the NTN branded bearings...can get from most bearing shops or Subaru Wangara is NOR

CBC Bearings do NTN wheel bearing kits at a pretty good price. Should be able to find a store in your local area.

Have a close look at the spindle while it's apart. (the centre part with the wheels studs on it) They often turn in the bearing and wear down the diameter so they are no longer a press fit in the new bearing.
