Exedy 06-14 Subaru Impreza WRX / 15-16 Subaru WRX / 2006 Saab 9-2X Aero OEM Release Bearing - Housed

Exedy is well-known for making reliable clutch components, and this housed release bearing is a solid option when you're replacing your clutch assembly on your 2006-2014 Subaru Impreza, 2015-2016 Subaru WRX, 2006 Saab 9-2X Aero, or 2017 Subaru WRX STI. A release bearing, also called a throw-out bearing, is a critical part of your clutch system. It's what the clutch fork pushes against to disengage the clutch when you press the pedal, allowing you to shift gears.

This particular bearing comes pre-installed in its housing, which can make installation a bit more straightforward. It's designed to meet the original equipment specifications for your vehicle, meaning it should operate just like the one that came from the factory. When you're doing a clutch job, it's always a good idea to replace the release bearing at the same time, as it sees a lot of wear and tear and is easily accessible during that repair.
