National Bearings

Well my front wheels are wobblin. So im goin to replace all bearings on both front wheels. I wanted to get american made bearings, but my local auto parts store didnt have any. I picked up national bearings. They are made in china, i just want to know if you guys ever used em, or heard good or bad things about them. Are they a good quality bearing?

...my experience is that they are a major supplier and should be fine. If you feel better with USA made, you can probably cross reference the part number online and find a domestic manufacturer.

Overseas suppliers can provide any quality desired. That said, I would never use an aftermarket, auto parts supplier bearing from China, there is no way to know what price point it was made for. Look on eBay, or find NOS on some shelf somewhere.
