I may be turning into one of those people who are 'name brand' conscious,
but several years ago NAPA handed me front wheel bearings that were of
questionable quality. They were wrapped, but had some small rust spots. They
were ordered from the distribution center.
I couldn't see the manufacturer's name anywhere, on the bearings, and I was
cautiously concerned about the overall quality.
I ordered a set of Timken's from Cinnabar instead. This isn't a plug for
them, just something to think about.
