if you need bearings, contact: jackie.whetzler@annapolissubaru.com.

bought mine from her, she was super nice and gave me a great price on them + fast shipping.

You can also do a search on Ebay for "Subaru SVX wheel bearing".

Re: where could i find bearings for wheels

Timken part number TM516003 is a cheaper alternative that has worked well for many people.

When you have the wheel bearings changed (regardless of brand, OEM included) make sure that the shipping grease is changed to actual wheel bearing grease. Mobil 1 synthetic grease works well. You can use brakleen to get rid of the packing grease. Many shops (dealerships included) are lazy and do not do this. You also need to ask them to not overtorque to axle nut when they put it back together. Be insistent if they are lazy or you'll be changing them again in as little as 10k miles.
