Well, since I can't quite figure out what's causing my intermittent rough idle/shudder yet . . . . . AND my rear bearing noise is getting worse, I thought I'd get down to tackling that!
I bought dealer front/rear bearings/seals about 6 to 9 months ago because I couldn't tell which ones were noisy at that time. My questions are:
1. Will I ever need the fronts. Do they go bad? Should I just keep them for when they do or return/sell them?
2. I saw something on a thread about a better bearing (for the SVX rear bearing application) than the OEM (Impreza I think?) Should I mount the OEM bearings? Should I return/sell them and seek a better bearing first? If so, please give me exact part # and purchase location info so I can get 'em.
3. Please give me any special guidance to do this myself (I know the torque values are critical, and the grease needs to be changed)?
THANKS for any help!
