Bearing in Differential

Larry Weil · 2010-07-06T20:42:04+00:00

I have a 2008 Impreza 2.5i 5 door, automatic, 61500 miles.I took it in to a tranny shop last week to have the fluid changed. When they took the car out for a drive, they heard a sound that they identified as being the pinion bearing in the front differential going bad. They suggested that I take the car to the dealer to see if Subaru would cover this, even though I am slightly past the warranty in miles. I took it to the dealer today and after two hours they said that something is definitely going on in that area, and they would call Subaru to see what they would do.What I¹m wondering is if this is a common problem for this model, and if there are any related service bulletins? This is my sixth Subaru and I have never had any transmission or differential problems on any of them.Thanks for your help.Larry

Obviously that got corrupted somewhere in the system. Should read ?IN starts with J?

A ways!

I only make it to the Keene area, and within about 15 miles. Anything beyond that is No Man's Land! ;)
