Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I believe there is a sub-standard part being used in subaru impreza rear wheel bearings. besides my 2 failures, i know of dozens of other people in my car club with similar rear wheel bearing failures. currently the failures are being handled under warranty, but as the cars age, the wheel bearing failures seem likely to continue and will start to get expensive.
