My vehicle is "ghost walking" as defined in this thread: www.subaruoutback.org/forums/66-problems-maintenance/16527-all-ghostwalking-ouback-owners-print.html the rear of the vehicle slides from sided to side at a certain frequency above 35 mph in snow conditions. This problem gets worse as more weight is added to the vehicle.

Vehicle started making humming noise from rear end which got progressively worse. Brought it into the dealer who told me the rear bearings were bad. I was told they weren't covered since my warranty had expired. Early failure of wheel bearings is apparently a known issue with Subaru and should be covered under a recall.

I purchased the 2008 Outback 2.5 limited used with 32K miles. At 41K miles the right front wheel bearing went out. Was making a very loud rubbing noise when turning and on the highway. The bearing was replaced under powertrain warranty. Yesterday I was informed that my left front bearing has gone out, now at 80K miles (all highway mileage). Now it is out of warranty. The 2 shops I spoke to regarding the issue stated this is actually very common on these Subaru models and they generate quite a bit of business. Subaru needs to provide a tsb and fix the issue as they have spec'd faulty wheel bearings.

The contact owns a 2008 Subaru Outback. During inclement weather, the snow became packed into the wheel well and made it difficult for the wheel to turn normally. The dealer was notified and offered no assistance. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 11,300.
