“Consumer hears a rumbling noise coming from the rear end. Consumer previously had rear wheel bearings replaced at 42000 due to premature wear. The bearings have worn out again, and need to be replaced at 44000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10030120, filed 2003-07, 44,000 miles“My VIN # is correct. Your computer is off. Anyway, the rear wheel bearing (right side) on my Subaru 2.5rs has gone bad with only 500 miles on the car. I have contacted many Subaru 2.5rs owners over the internet this last week and found that many owners are having the same problem with rear wheel bearings siezing up with very low miles on their cars. One man reported he is taking his 2.5rs in for the third time to have the bearings replaced, with only 26,000 miles on the car. …”
