Two problems related to front suspension wheel bearing have been reported for the 2001 Subaru Legacy. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Subaru Legacy based on all problems reported for the 2001 Legacy.
On a 2001 Subaru Legacy, the sealed front wheel bearings and hubs had to be replaced at 68,000 miles. Sealed wheel bearings should last much longer. I have read that others have also run in problems with sealed wheel bearings on other years and models of Subaru. I suspect a manufacturer defect.
Wheel bearing failure at 59,000 miles.
