Part Numbers
Timken and Federal Mogul show the bearing number as 516003 for rear. Seals are Subaru OEM numbers for rear are 28015AA070 and 28015AA021. If you replace the axle nut as recommended it is 28044AA000. Actually I don't replace it unless it has been off several times, but then like I said---I am not a mechanic.

Federal Mogul Parts #'s
I got the same part # for the FM rear bearing 516003. Price quoted from Worldwide Auto Parts $74.90 ea. For the FM seals I got these parts numbers:
70393 -rear outer seal $7.42 ea. 225673 -rear inner seal $6.51 ea. It's recommended that you do both sides at the same time so you'll need 2 of ea. And don't be like the idiot "mechanic" who did mine and forget to repack the bearings in high temp grease. WGJ Last edited by WGJ; 04-11-2005 at 11:45 PM. |

I hope you save yourself a return trip to the store and not buy those seals - they don't fit. Period. Not even close.
I guess I need to be more clear - I have yet to find any aftermarket seals that work.

Humm Guess I should have read page 2 before I posed that last question.

Prices
If you do not have an Autozone to buy the lower price Timken bearing priced to me at $51+ you might as well buy all parts from Subaru since you have to buy the seals there anyway. If you look on Ebay---BmiCad is nearly always listing an OEM (Subaru) bearing/seal kit for $81+ which is really a good price except that you have to pay shipping.

Definately not. I've used Timken in the past and will never buy their products again. It's up to you but if you want a quality non-oem replacement buy a set of BCA bearings (516003). |

If you look closely you may be surprised. Many times bearing manufacturers put another company's product in their box in order to provide wider coverage.

On a side note, based on my experience as a car parts salesman year ago, bearings and seals are one of the few parts where the part numbers are standardized throughout the industry. You may find a company marks a box with their own number but when you look on the actual bearing it will have the same number as FM/Timken/BCA...etc. The key is to research the companies and find out if they make their own products or rebox someone elses.

Svx Encyclopedia!!!
This thread is a perfect example of why we need an SVX Enyclopedia. I just read the "Technical" paper on rear wheel bearing replacement. It's a big help but needs to be more thorough. What is the correct torque for the various fastners used in the wheel bearing install? Proper tightening procedure? Preferred method of cleaning out the shipping grease and repacking the bearings in high-temp grease? Preferred grease? etc; etc; None of this info is in the paper. But if our data base were formated like Wikipedia it would be easy for Net members to put important data in. For example:
Here's the numbers I got from the local San Diego Subaru dealer: OEM Rear wheel bearing part # 28016PA010 - $98.00 ea. OEM Outer seal # 28015AA070 - $11.13 ea. OEM Inner seal # 28015AA040 - $13.48 ea. None of these parts numbers are in the "Tech" paper and should be...with a Wikipedia-like encyclopedia we could edit this kind of info as we build it and make it way easier for those who follow to easily access this valuable data. What do you think? Make sense? WGJ |

Dealer Holdup!!!
Your dealer is holding you up and stealing your underwear!!!!! I have never seen dealer prices that high. Check my post above for what I pay at a dealer in Albuquerque. You can buy them on Ebay from BmiCad and have them shipped for the price of the bearing from your dealer and have the seals free!! I will also note that one of the seal numbers is different from what I have. Subaruparts online is about the cheapest.

If You Think That's Bad...
you should see what they charge for labor to replace rear wheel bearings! And believe it or not, this is the reasonable dealer lhopp77! There's a dealer closer to me that charges even more! Not only that but according to the numbers on the kit for sale on ebay...they didn't give me the right parts numbers. Thanks for the heads up on the ebay auction..caught that last night. I'm going to get the numbers from the auction and post 'em up...
The rumble from down under (my improperly installed bearings) is becoming intolerable... 'Worm-stop teasin' me...how soon do you think we can begin organizing the data base into an encyclopedia format? WGJ Last edited by WGJ; 04-14-2005 at 11:51 AM. |
