| Description of the problem | The rear wheel bearings emit a low pitch noise that increases in amplitude with speed. The noise has been getting progressively worse, to the point where at highway speeds, it is difficult to hold a conversation with anyone sitting in the back seat. I am told there is a wheel bearing recall for a different model subaru of this same model year, but the subaru dealership says it does not include my vin. They estimate the repair at $850. |
