It sucks you had to go to Lithia, Dean... hopefully under the new service guy (Ray) things will go better for you than they have for me in the past.

As far as the bearing replacment... for future reference:

I dismantled the knuckels myself, put them in a box, went by Lithia and grabbed the necessary bearing parts and dropped them off at Aims in Sparks. They pressed out the old bearings, and packed and pressed in the new ones for an hour's worth of labor! Not a bad deal. Plus I got the bearings packed in better grease than Subaru would use (RedLine CV2).

Here are the parts for the front bearings, with the apporximate jobber price (from SubaruParts.com, Lithia's prices are similar if you can get the parts counter to place it under a shop's name. I used Aims.):

$13.46 (2 x $6.73) 28015AA070 Oil Seal - Front Axle, Outer
$16.30 (2 x $8.15) 28015AA021 Oil Seal - Front Axle, Inner
$113.54 (2 x $56.77) 28016AA011NT Bearing - Front Axle
$6.66 (2 x $3.33) 28044AA000 Nut - Axle
$4.50 (2 x $2.25) 28035AA010 Snap Ring F

I also had to replace my Left Front hub, as the bearing had frozen on it and destroyed the surface. That was like another $110 IIRC.
