Here is one of my faulty Chinese bearings in one season, and I don't drive like a jerk:
Its been 18 months since I packed my cheap Chinese bearings, the originals on my 2008 Montana, since been sold about three months ago.

Boat trailers ,travel trailers ,fifth wheels , and utility, and RV trailers .
I disagree everything out of China is junk, its what it is in this world we live in. Timken farms out their bearings to China, we seemed to be getting fooled thinking we are getting US bearings.
