Subaru Impreza wheel bearing and CV axle failures with dealer replacement expected future issues on Subaru Impreza

Some Subaru Impreza owners report experiencing recurring wheel bearing failures, which can manifest as a rhythmic grinding noise during acceleration, particularly when turning sharply. Additionally, a bad wheel bearing may produce a humming noise that increases with the vehicle's speed. Some owners also report issues with CV axles, including popping noises during turns, which can sometimes be mistaken for wheel bearing problems due to inadequate lubrication in CV joints or worn bearings. It is essential for owners to consider the warranty on parts and repairs, typically around 12,000 miles or 12 months, and communicate with the dealership about any recurring issues to ensure that replacements are performed correctly and to prevent future failures.
