Problem overview

Some Subaru Legacy owners report experiencing noise issues while coasting, which may indicate a rear wheel bearing problem. Common symptoms associated with a failing wheel bearing include grinding or humming noises, knocking or clunking sounds during cornering, a shaking steering wheel, body vibrations, uneven tire wear, and the vehicle pulling to one side. Additionally, some owners have noted that rear wheel bearings in Subarus can fail prematurely, prompting warranty extensions for certain parts. This issue has been particularly prevalent in specific model years, such as 2005-2007. It is recommended that affected owners have their Subaru Legacy inspected by a qualified technician to confirm the source of the noise and address the issue promptly to avoid further damage and ensure safety on the road.
