I definitely agree with you
I definitely agree with you regarding the wheel bearing issue, Subaru quoted me about $500 for each one. Fortunately, I am not afraid to turn a wrench so I ordered a pair on-line for $70. It took me less than the time it would take for me to drive my car to the Subaru dealer and drive home. Basically, for about an hours worth of labor, I saved about $450. Keep in mind that the front CV boots don't last either since they are exposed to heat. You can get a repair kit from NAPA for about $30 and do this job in about an hour as well.
