Front Wheel Bearing & Hub Assembly Set for Subaru Forester Outback

Our review of this 2 piece wheel bearing and hub assembly set finds it best suited for Subaru owners who need a straightforward, direct replacement for failing front hubs. The kit includes both left and right front assemblies and is an OE replacement designed to match original fit and function, which makes it attractive for DIY mechanics and independent shops. Fitment covers a wide range of Subaru models from mid 2000s through early 2014, and the single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a vehicle specific set that replaces both sides at once.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Installs without modification on compatible Subaru models to restore factory geometry and wheel alignment easily.
• OE Replacement: Built to the original equipment reference numbers so it matches expected dimensions and mounting points.
• Complete Kit: Ships with both the front driver and front passenger side assemblies, saving time sourcing matching parts.
• Wide Fitment: Compatible with numerous Subaru Outback, Forester, Legacy, Impreza and XV Crosstrek model years to simplify choosing the right part.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Uses several aftermarket and OE reference numbers to help verify compatibility with parts diagrams.

Who It's For

This assembly set is aimed at owners of compatible Subaru Forester, Outback, Legacy, Impreza and XV Crosstrek models who want a direct replacement kit for front wheel bearings and hubs. It fits drivers who prefer doing the job themselves or those who rely on an independent mechanic and want an OE-style part without sourcing two separate components.

It is not the best choice for drivers with older or modified suspension where nonstandard hubs are required, or for users who need a bespoke performance upgrade; those shoppers should seek specialty bearings or OEM dealer parts if unique calibration or longer factory-backed warranties are required.

Pros & Cons
