Front wheel bearing
Im replacing a couple front wheel studs on my 93 legacy which i think warped my rotors and was wondering if doing that would call for new bearings

I wouldn't bother with it unless they're bad. If they're bad you should be able to hear them grinding when you lift up the car and spin the wheel. They're kind of a pain in the ass to replace so I wouldn't do it unless it was necessary.

I don't think studs will warp your rotors. They can strip or break, then your wheels aren't evenly torqued. With cast and vented rotors, thats not gonna warp them. Broken or stripped studs should deffinatly be replaced though.
I can't remember exactly what the hubs on a subie look like, but you can usually replace a stud without removing the hub from the car.

All four bearings have to be pressed into the knuckle.
Make sure the parts guy has your year right. Our hubs have to be pressed into the bearings. Only cars with the updated multilink rear suspension have sealed rear hub/bearing assemblies.
Make sure you get seals too. Fronts have two seals, rears have three.

He's meaning to use a punch and hammer on the outside of the axle nut into the indented portion of the axle. This will help prevent the axle nut from loosening.
