BEARING/TIRE NOISE
I went to the Subaru dealer today about my wheel bearings. I have a roaring coming from the right rear wheel (To this point I have had 5 wheel bearings replaced on the right rear, including a housing with the last one. This was done 44,000 miles ago) . The SVX Master Technician listened
quite extensively with his stethoscope while the car was in the air with all wheels running.
He said my bearings were fine and that was not the noise I was hearing. The only other thing it could possibly be is tire noise (on my AVS db's?)
I called Radial tire, who installed them and they said if my rear alignment was off the tires could
have started to feather and that could account for the noise. I will try swapping tires back to front next week and see if the noise changes position as well.
Do these answers sound correct?
The master tech also said in all the SVX's he has
done transmission fluid replacement on he has never dropped the pan, cleaned the internal strainer or the magnet. Evidentally the external filter (ATK-50 campaign) took care of most of the debris that would otherwise end up inside. He is very knowledgable and would do whatever I asked him to, but I don't think he would put his reputation on the line and tell me something he didn't believe to be true.
