We have a 2000 Subaru Forester that has had the right rear wheel bearing replaced twice at 83,000 and 102,000 miles. The bearing started making noise at 30,000 miles, but I thought it was just drive line whine. (Have owned many Jeeps). I have read about right rear wheel bearing failures at 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000 miles successively on the same Forester. Each repair cost around $350. Searching on the net revealed that Subaru has known about these bearing failures, yet refuses to compensate their customers unless the vehicle is still under warranty. Subaru's solution was to replace the original ball bearings with Impreza roller bearings. Has anyone here experienced the same bearing failure?
