Wheel bearing - Where to buy?

[zch91]

Afternoon fellow Liberty Lovers

I've come to the conclusion that my Passenger front wheel bearing is up the shit

Where's the best place to get a new assy, I assume Subaru is the go? Obviously not from a local stealership.

Any input is appreciated

Cheers

This is the only Australian domestic unit on ebay at the moment
ebay item number 370870882077.
All others are in the USA and the cost will be the same after the US stings you for freight.
Keep looking!
Cheers!

OEM Subaru bearings are made by NTN in Japan (not NTN China)

SKF also do a bearing kit. In the past, they've been made in Sweden, Germany, France, USA and Japan but lately there has been SKF bearings made in China and Mexico. Apparently the ones from the latter pass all SKF quality standards, however, like anything else, there's usually a significant quality difference between the manufacturing countries.

I bought the whole hub assembly from Repco for $180.Took me 30mins to swap out with 32mm and 14mm sockets.

As cliffo said,
the Gen4 hub can just be unbolted from the knuckle, makes DIY easy.

then if you can be bothered go to your local bearing place and buy a new bearing and seal kit and have it pressed out and back in by a workshop.
