What parts# do I need to replace the wheel bearings?
 

Hi,

I need to change my wheel bearings probably.. the noise
gets louder as I go faster, also when I release the gas
pedal, it just gives a droning noise. Anyway, What
part#s do I need from SubaruParts.com? Would it be better
to replace all four wheel bearings or just the rear, where I
hear it from.

Thanks a lot

Tony,
I'll have to do some checking to make sure of all the parts, but, you'll need inner and outer seals and, of course the bearing (I think that's it, but not sure).
Go here to check out the parts and prices:

If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll post a parts list from work tomorrow, I've got a list on my work computer. Personally, I'd just replace the defective bearing. Make sure you, or whoever does the change, replaces the packing grease with high quality high temp bearing grease. The grease the bearing comes in is ONLY for packing and not for "riding." Good luck and happy motoring.

Uh, you can just replace the back ones. I never needed to replace any barings at all in my car yet -- knock on wood. It seems like AWD SVXes suffer from rear wheel baring problem. Well, I am not sure about the part number. Someone else take over?
