Consumer Description

MY SUBARU FORESTER WAS RECENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR NORMAL SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW DRIVESHAFT CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. UPON CHECKING FOR THE PART(A $20 PART) HE WAS ADVISED SUBARU WILL NOT SELL THE PART WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT(@$700). THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT. EVERY DEALER AND AUTO PARTS STORE GIVES THE SAME RESPONSE HEN I ASK FOR THE BEARING. IS THIS SOME SORT OF SCAM BY THE MANUFACTURER????
