My Subaru Forester was recently in the shop for normal service. The technician advised I needed a new driveshaft center support bearing. Upon checking for the part(a $20 part) he was advised Subaru will not sell the part without replacing the entire drive shaft(@$700). There is nothing wrong with the drive shaft. Every dealer and auto parts store gives the same response hen I ask for the bearing. Is this some sort of scam by the manufacturer????.
