Important safety note
Subaru XV - booming noises from the rear of the vehicle
If loud, booming noises are heard from the rear of the vehicle, defective rear wheel bearings may be the cause.
The rear wheel bearings may have been damaged by a design-related malfunction of the rear wheel brakes during assembly.
In order to remedy this, not only new wheel hubs but also modified backing plates (picture) for the rear brake have to be installed.
When assembling, please observe the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
