Wheel bearings made in china and mexico. I seem to be having continuing problem with this. As the parts have become cheaper they have been failing more frequently. This has been going on for 2 years. I was getting 6months from a set now they are bad out of the box. Help I need my car back. The bearings in question are national made in china, timpkin made in china, skf made in mexico. I have also tried the cheaper brands. I have a 1985 dodge B150 van, 5LUG wheel, and 318 cid V8. The wheel bearings on this van seem small. If the quality was relaxed just a little I might have one of the few that might have a problem. This IS a continuing issue. I have defective parts. *Tr
