Review on πŸ”§ Detroit Axle - Front Wheel Hub Bearing Replacement for Subaru Impreza Forester Legacy Outback XV Crosstrek w/ABS: Reliability and Performance Ensure Smooth Rides by Victor Garro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits perfectly, works great!

Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium 2010. Fits perfectly. I recommend buying an axle nut and 4 new bolts. I twisted 2 screws when removing the old hub. Use an angle grinder to cut through the old hub and screws as close to the spindle as possible, then simply pry out the remaining screw with a screwdriver. The spindle is unthreaded, only the hub, so don't try to salvage the screws. The screws are $1.70 each at a Subaru dealership. The dumb dust cover will also weld (rust) to the hub and spindle. I used a 3 pound hammer and a railroad spike to knock it out. Between the two top bolts on the top of the hub is a gap, a suitable chisel or in my case a railroad nail. Fell off after a minute or two, knocking snot out of him. After that, the installation took just 10 minutes, Torq put the bracket, caliper and tire back in place. Now it's not like my little Legacy isn't riding 38-inch super swamps. Much luck.

Pros
  • bearing
Cons
