I have never had a common branded bearing fail. As far as Timken manufacturing bearings outside the US and other folks bone of contention, that company at my last look made bearings in 27 different countries but have to assume built to their worldwide standards.

If you do choose to go with Timken, Rock Auto Parts has usually had better pricing then Amazon even with shipping charges.
Thank You!
