| I purchased the 2008 outback 2.5 limited used with 32k miles. at 41k miles the right front wheel bearing went out. was making a very loud rubbing noise when turning and on the highway. the bearing was replaced under powertrain warranty. yesterday i was informed that my left front bearing has gone out, now at 80k miles (all highway mileage). now it is out of warranty. the 2 shops i spoke to regarding the issue stated this is actually very common on these subaru models and they generate quite a bit of business. subaru needs to provide a tsb and fix the issue as they have spec'd faulty wheel bearings. *tr | |||
