McPherson strut bearing failure

M

mikeslover

Noticed a slight vibration sound when turning the wheel to the left
moving slowly (fwd or reverse). Took to local Subaru dealer who
diagnosed as strut bearing failure. After replacing it, I could feel
the "roughness" between the race and bearings, so it was a problem.
When I drove the car, the sound was gone. Has anyone else experienced
this? Seems odd. It is a sealed bearing, so a grease point was not
missed.

Even sealed bearings will wear out eventually.
