Sorry, my beast is a 1992 Brumby. Has a constant squeak under load at front wheel. Brakes and suspension seem to be fine. Tie rod and ball joints all ok. Never replaced bearings on her before. Done 337000kms.

this is from the gregorys manual subaru 79 -94

It is very in depth and will tell you that you need special tools (you don't) use it as a guide and as questions in this thread before you actually attempt the job.
