Re: wheel bearings again

I am not sure any other Subarus use the same bearings even though some parts sources in the US indicate it uses the same as some late model STIs. Some more qualified mechanics on here can problem answer this better.

However, nearly all bearing makers (at least in US) make a bearing that will fit and is of the same quality as the OEM. These include bearings made by National, NTN, Timken and Beck Arnley. Some of these are sold on Ebay if you have access to Ebay.

It is possible that the rear bearing is the same as the 06 Saab 9-2.

I personally buy the Timken bearings and have good results with them.
