China Rear Wheel Bearings
 
Just recieved my rear axle shafts from Superior.With it came bearings from CHINA,WTF!!
Manufactured by RATEC.

I rather like to read brands like:National,Timken,SKF,Federal Mogul etc,etc but NOT China.
Opinions please if you outthere think it`s okey to use this bearing or are they just POS?

I did`t ask for the cheapest bearings.Federal Mogul cost 120 dollar each in Sweden.

China Brand name: PRB RW507CR

I would not worry about the bearings from China. Their manufacturing is top notch. Where I do see a problem is when there is no quality control from the person who contracts the work out of China. I have used a lot of top quality reproduction parts from that country, as well as some not so good ones.
