2007 Subaru Impreza rear hub replacement for the 2nd time Sign In

2007 subaru impreza wagon, 2.5L engine, 60,000 miles.

I heard a noise on the passenger rear wheel and took it to my mechanic. He states it is the rear hub. Kicker is that hub was replaced 8 months ago. They want me to pay full price again and I am trying to find out, if it is possible for a hub to fail after only 5,000 miles? I think they should pay to fix it but I am not sure and I could use some professional feedback.

Thnx

It's possible but there will likely be some underlying cause. It should have lasted longer than that. most all parts are guaranteed for at least a year these days, even if he doesn't cover the labor, he should be at least covering the part. He will likely be returning the old one to his supplier for full credit.

My mechanic is now looking into a repair kit for a hub instead of a replacement. Is there such a thing?

No, there isn't. I'm becoming suspicious of this guy. He should be doing it all for free or at the very least, labor only. His part is guaranteed and he will get anew one for free.
