If you're hearing a humming or grinding noise from a front wheel that gets louder with speed, feeling a vibration through the steering wheel, or noticing uneven tire wear on one side, a worn front wheel bearing is a common cause on these Subaru models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Forester and WRX Share a Front Hub\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forester and Impreza WRX are both built on Subaru's compact platform architecture and share a substantial amount of suspension and chassis hardware, including the front hub and knuckle dimensions that a wheel bearing assembly bolts into. Because bearing suppliers cross-reference these assemblies by physical fitment and OE number rather than by trim level or body style, a single part number can cover a Sport Utility crossover like the Forester and a performance hatchback like the WRX Hatchback even though they're marketed very differently. Checking the fitment chart on the product page against your specific vehicle's build details is still worth doing, since bearing dimensions can vary across model years even within the same nameplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-referenced to OE numbers 513303 and 28373-AG00A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 2 front wheel bearing and hub assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-lubricated, industrial-grade steel bearing construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory hardness and salt spray tested for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front, both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity: 2 wheel bearing and hub assemblies per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearing type: Pre-lubricated industrial-grade steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTesting: Hardness tested and salt spray tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i in Convenience, Limited, and Premium trim, and the 2014 Subaru Impreza WRX Hatchback. Because wheel bearing fitment can vary by model year and trim even within the same nameplate, checking the fitment chart on the product page against your specific vehicle's details is worth doing before ordering to guarantee an exact match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns Your Wheel Bearing Needs Replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA failing front wheel bearing on the Forester or WRX typically announces itself with a humming, growling, or grinding noise that gets louder as speed increases and may change pitch when turning, a vibration felt through the steering wheel or floor, or a wheel that feels loose when checked by hand with the vehicle raised. Because the wheel bearing supports the vehicle's weight while also letting the wheel spin freely, a bearing that's failed badly enough can eventually affect steering feel and, in extreme cases, allow excess play in the wheel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Owners Replace the Complete Hub Assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn these Subaru models, the wheel bearing is integrated into a sealed hub assembly rather than sold as a standalone bearing that can be pressed in and out separately, which is why replacing the complete hub assembly is the standard repair rather than attempting to service the bearing on its own. Starting with a new, pre-lubricated assembly means the bearing, seals, and hub flange are all fresh at once, avoiding the risk of a repeat failure from reusing a hub flange that's already seen significant wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing a front wheel bearing and hub assembly means removing the wheel, disconnecting the brake caliper and rotor to access the hub, removing the axle nut and hub mounting bolts, and installing the new assembly in reverse order with the axle nut torqued to specification. Because the axle nut on these vehicles is typically torqued well beyond what most hand tools can manage, doing the final torque with the vehicle's weight on its wheels rather than on a jack is worth planning for ahead of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wheel bearing and hub assembly set is in stock and ships ready to install.
