If I can wiggle my rear tire in and out, is it only wheel bearing?
Hi , so I jacked up the car. And if I can wiggle the rear tire in and out as shown in the video below.
Broken Wheel Bearing
Does that mean that definitely the wheel bearing is broken? Could it possibly be any other part? I am trying to order the part for the install, and want to make sure I dont miss any other parts necessary for the repair.
Can someone please link me to the part number for the wheel bearing for 2005 WRX. Thanks!

Don't forget you'll need a press to put the wheel bearing in. It's less of a headache if you take it in the shop if you don't have a good press.
But if you're taking it to a shop, let them worry about ordering the part

Yes, I will order the parts and bring it into the shop.
So can anyone tell me what parts do I need exactly? :\

Maybe try asking a local dealer that knows a lot about these cars and can make certain you get the right bits while supporting the local community.
What shop isn't offering a warranty on the parts? That's a bit odd if you ask me.

I had my rear wheel bearing done for my legacy wagon a few years back. The damage wasn't too bad. I think it was under $230 or so.

I don't think it can actually come off unless you had some catastrophic failure. The axle nut holds everything in place so it shouldn't be able to come apart. It may make some noise though. I had a bad front driver wheel bearing and I let it go a bit longer than I should have. When I took it off it came apart in pieces.
I agree with sigma pi. Get a new hub as well. Less work too, as you dont need to pull the old bearing off the old hub.
