Fitment and Application Details

This hub assembly is engineered for rear position service on Subaru Outback, Legacy, WRX, and WRX STI applications listed above. It cross-references OE part number 28473-VA000 for the same application. Use the WH512536 when the original rear hub shows bearing wear, ABS signal issues, or mounting damage.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear wheel bearing noise or rough rotation
• ABS warning light caused by encoder-related hub wear
• Excessive wheel play from a worn hub assembly
• Damaged or corroded hub mounting surfaces
• Uneven rear wheel stability from hub deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Rear axle nut torque specification should be verified in the OE service manual for the vehicle being serviced. Confirm spline count, flange dimensions, stud pattern, and ABS encoder style before installation. Because the anti-lock brake sensor is not included, reuse or replace the sensor as needed based on the vehicle condition.
