Nate said it sounds like my wheel bearing is going out. Now at 22K miles is this covered by Subaru or is it Customer pay?
Anyone know? The car has never been lowered or ran on the track I also had Midas swap struts and it was the same so we went back to stock struts and saved me some cash I also turned/cut the rotors for some shake I was also haveing the shake stoped but the grinding sound thats still there. I'm really starting to dislike my wrx

 

theoretically it should be covered under the bumper to bumper 36k mile warranty. But then again, this is Subaru, so who knows what they'll claim...

Unless they have some reason to think you've abused it, that should be covered up to 60,000 miles (drivetrain)

I had both of mine replaced under waranty: one at 45k, the other at 50k.

Good luck,
Mike

 

It will be covered no problem. My front right went bye bye just before my warranty was over.

 

If the bearing is going? I was just wondering because my warranty is about to go.

 

Mine made a horrible squealing. You'll know.

 

Mine sounds like its rubbing on something but only when I turn left and only when on the gas pedal no gas no sound just when under presure. I hope thats what it is

 

damn sounds like the same problem ive been going thru have you replaced the wheel bearing yet has it fixed the problem? and what year is your car?

 

Miguel has an '03 Black Sedan

 

Yes dahveed is correct 03 they said it was my JDM exhaust rubbing on a panel and gave me a tip on how to stop it from rubbing man I like the dealership + I got my recalls done at the same time ""hehe""

 

PS they said that ALL wearable parts are covered under drive train warranty even rotors that need to be resurfaced

 

Mine didn't really make any noise at all untill the bearing races where so hammered out that they started clicking, by then the hubs needed replacing too.

Under 36,000 miles I'd expect it would be a warranty job though.

 

my car is doing the exact same thing. the vibrating sound is coming from the front right side, but it does it worse when i make a steering correction 2 the left. it makes a squeeling sound w/ a regular left turn. does anybody else know how much it is or would b 2 replace or fix this problem. thanks. good night now ..i..am out

well fellas i am happy to report that the problem was an easy fix. i took my car to a mechanic that my family has trusted for many years & found out that it wasnt my wheel bearing but a careless error by the subaru fellows @ performance subaru. i had recently had my 1rst gear synchro replaced under warranty & apparently when puttin everything back 2gether they didnt tighten my front right brake rotor correctly. so after that was tightened everything was great. quite a relief i must say. thanks. good night now...i am out
