Is NSK the company that has the made in Japan bearings I've heard of that are one of the best, or the best out there? Out of curiosity, how much does a set of quality bearings and seals cost? I'm thinking of replacing the OEM ones at the earliest possible convenience.
NSK is good (Japan)
FAG is good (Germany)
Timken (used to manufacture primarily in the USA, but has moved a lot of production to China- be extremely careful buying them now)
SKF - seems to manufacture different lines all over the world - double check the origin of the specific bearings you buy.
Pretty much any US, Japanese, or German made bearing will give you superb service life. The price premium over Chinese bearings is usually minimal.
