Thanks for the additional comments.
in addition to the new Husky 250 ft-lbs torque wrench I purchased last night I also purchased a 32mm 6-point socket.
I believe the torque is 177 ft-lbs, though that was just one source for a non-turbo Foz. They might be the same but I need to confirm.
I have the holiday weekend off, so Ill spend some time with the wife driving around to see if I can confirm the correct side, just in case the mechanic got it wrong.

I had a Forester. Same issue. Funny thing is, I went to the shop and told them. it's the right side rear. Mechanic insisted it was coming from the left. So he does the left, noise stil there. So in the end, ended up doing both anyway. I would probably do just the one. Apparently these bearing are undersized for the vehicle. I'm old.....I remember a time when replacing wheel bearings was un-heard of.
