Buying a more expensive bearing doesn't prove or disprove this one is bad from the get go. A less expensive bearing may or may not fail sooner than the expensive one, but it still shouldn't be bad off the shelf. Look, your not really producing anything positive here. So I'm just gonna ask that you quit replying. Leave space for people who might actually have some positive input pertaining to the overall question. If not, I'm just going to ignore you anyway.
