74,000 miles for wheel bearing life in a modern car is unacceptable. Subaru parts guy told me it's not uncommon. I have replaced exactly one wheel bearing on a vehicle in the past 15 years. That one Honda bearing had 220,000 miles on it.
Ridiculous.
I ordered an aftermarket bearing and did the work myself. Saved over $525 off of the dealer quoted price.
