Does anyone know where and what brand bearing for a large bearing 9 "rear are still usa made. The numbers are either 88128-RB or 524003. Many premature failures are occuring on the china bearings with these numbers.

 

NAPA has two grades of bearings. I stepped up to the higher-cost bearings, can't remember if they are USA but the cheaper ones were clearly Chinese and low-quality.
