Anyone else have severe wheel bearing problems?

BTW, exploding bearings at 75MPh do not make for an easily controllable vehicle.

I'll bet they're not being installed properly. There was a notice sent to the dealers about this. Some dealers were over torquing them, IIRC. I'm not sure if it's in the form of a TSB or not.

I'd think that as well, but -6- dealerships? Subaru's probably suggesting using legacy bearings since they know there's a flaw in the bearing design. Do I sense a cover up? I think I do.
