Subaru p.n. for front bearings/hub for PP/Brembos
Just checking...
I found two different part numbers: 28473FL020 28373CA000 I *think* the first one is for Brembos, as one link for the 2nd one says "w/o brembo" Looking to replace with the factory parts, unless there's a known *better* alternative for daily that sees a fair amount of track usage (~12 track days per year) TIA! |

I'd stick with OE. I tried using a couple other brands and the OE timkens last the longest.

Ohhhh - FL020 is the rear hub, CA000 is the front - yep. Quote:
Are the OE still sourced from/made by timken and not in china somewhere at the same plant the aftermarket ones are made now? |

The last ones I got were timken, that was a couple years ago. I've tried one through autozone or orielly's and bought a front set from amazon labeled "Detroit" brand and all those only lasted like a season. I have one on my bench I have been meaning to cut apart to see what is going on. Maybe I will go stick it in the band saw now.

Also, hubbuster makes the job more pleasant if the wheel bearing was the original one.

You have to replace it as a unit. Pull the caliper, rotor and speed sensor and it's 4 bolts on the back from the knuckle that hold the hub in. There is no non destructive way to get the bearings out.

Ah-ha! Looks like that's the answer...

Would be good to know if I ordered from Subaru whether they've gone to a cheaper source for these... Last edited by ZDan; 05-17-2022 at 06:36 PM. |

Sounds about the same for my front hub usage. 6 days a year, usually 5 20 minute sessions.

Sorry to hijack - what sort of symptoms are you having? With other cars I'm used to hearing a racket on the highway as they're going bad but haven't with this one.
I had barely noticeable play and loud grinding under heavy braking when I bought the car 12k miles ago. Swapped in new OE hubs and all was fine. The grinding started coming back after the car (bearings?) warmed up about 5k miles ago. I've done pads/rotors/rebuilt the caliper since then without an effect so I'm pretty confident in ruling that stuff out. 7-12k street miles just seems too soon to be looking at them again. Quote:

Weirdly I started hearing some clattering in a straight line over bumps and accel/decel on trip back to Prov from down south. Stopped to check and felt some play in the left front but couldn't tell if it was from bearings or balljoint or strut. Considered getting a hotel and taking it to a local DC(ish) area Sube dealer but figured it'd last so continued trip. At some point it quit making noise. Investigated yesterday and now there's no play! wtf... Quote:

I would be willing to give SKF a go, they are a reputable bearing brand. Haven't ran them on my car before though.

Used skf for a season. They lasted roughly 30ish days. Used moog and genuine oem as well, seem to last about the same.
