Rear Differential Question
So when im driving im hearing this grinding noise from the rear, im thinking it could be the bearing... Is this something that can be under the 6yr 50k power train warranty?
Also does anyone know what causes this problem?

Check on www.scoobymods.com I think they might have it listed over there. A local guy had the same problem and actually had three of them go out on his car. The dealerhsip never would give him a definate reason why they do that. The majority of the time when its like what you described then its usually a bad wheel bearing.

They usually don't replace them until they go out. They never replaced mine. They also haven't replaced my orignal MAF sensor yet. Then again I don't have the time to leave them my car for an entire day to simply do the sensor when I know it only takes 15min at best.

Its it goes bad and its under warranty I don't see how they could charge me for it. However I see your point also about the design flaw. If they recognize its there then why not just change it and not charge the owner for the new parts. I guess its another reason why Subaru of America won't be selling me another car for a very long time.
