Needed services
(1) There is a whirring sound coming from the front wheels
Quote from Nick's on 12/7/22 for Wheel bearing and hub assembly, front, both sides ($1128.48) [Parts $309.87 each (total $619.74); Labor (3.25 hours = $455)]
On 5/14/19, Firestone replaced the rear hub and bearing (both): Total: $662; Bearing parts: $311; Labor: $302
If you want to replace the front wheel bearing and the hub assembly on both sides, you can expect to pay $400-$650. Replacing the wheel bearing and wheel hub assembly at the same time is more recommended than replacing one at a time. This is because when you pair a worn-out wheel hub, the new wheel bearing tends to wear down. It is also important to note that it is better to replace both front wheel bearings together, even if only one is bad, which is for obvious reasons; if one is bad, the other has uneven wear, or it will also wear and tear soon. Replacing rear wheel bearings is slightly more costly than replacing the front wheel bearing.
Most often, a wheel bearing is not replaced as a pair (both sides of the vehicle). Instead, just the one or ones determined to have gone bad are replaced.
(2) Tires need to be rotated (this was last done at Firestone at 141.1K miles and the mileage is now 147.5K)
(3) Alignment (this was last done at Firestone at 133.3K miles and the mileage is now 147.5K)
(4) Dashboard lights are malfunctioning: The check engine light and traction control light stays on, the cruise control light flashes, and the parking brake light sometimes comes on.
Nick's recommend on 12/7/22 the replacement of the Variable Valve Timing Solenoid (Total $1049.83; Parts: 2 X $184.92 = 369.84; Labor: $630)
The average cost for variable valve timing control solenoid replacement is between $320 and $374. https://www.fixdapp.com/service/vvt-solenoid-replacement-cost/
Common signs of a faulty VVT solenoid include the Check Engine Light coming on, dirty engine oil, rough engine idle, and decreased fuel economy.
(5) There is a slow leak of power steering fluid
On 9/29/22, Nick’s Auto Repair put dye in the power steering line to detect where the leak is and said to drive it at least 200 miles. This has been done.
Nick's recommended on 12/7/22 the following:
Total: $1650.39
Part: Rack and pinion - power - complete: $397.74
Part: Power steering pressure hose: $138.04
Part: Power steering pump without reservoir: $269.87
Supplies: $78.59
Labor: Remove and replace: $448
Labor: Wheel alignment: $124.95
B&B Bear in March 2018: Front wheel alignment (Labor: $50)
Labor: Power steering pump: $193.20
For Firestone
(1) There is a whirring or roaring sound coming from the front wheels. I suspect the problem has to do with the wheel bearing and/or hub assembly.
(2) I believe the tires need to be rotated (this was last done at Firestone at 141.1K miles and the mileage is now 147.5K). I bought the tires from Firestone on 3/12/20.
(3) I believe an alignment may need to be done (this was last done at Firestone at 133.3K miles and the mileage is now 147.5K)
The above three issues are my priorities. However, there are two more problems that you could look into:
(4) The dashboard lights are malfunctioning: The check engine light and traction control
light stays on, the cruise control light flashes, and the parking brake light sometimes comes on.
(5) There is a very slow leak of power steering fluid.
Subaru of Corvallis 1/4/23 diagnostics
Catalytic converter
(1) P0420 Catalyst system efficiency below threshold. Catalytic converter is testing bad and a replacement is needed. Heat shields are broken and rattling. Oxygen sensor may be seized (which would add to cost). Estimate: $4811
(2) P0026 OSV solenoid valve malfunction. The majority of time this comes on because oil is low or dirty. My oil was 1.5 quarts low. If light comes back on with proper level, it will need further diagnosis with valve. No estimate made.
(3) Rear wiper motor is inoperable. Estimate: $445
The average cost for a Catalytic Converter Replacement is between $1,996 and $2,073.
