Premature wheel bearing failures.

Ok I believe you. That isn't the issue. The issue is what is causing them to wear out?

It could be. It depends on who makes them. Our MasterPro hubs are garbage. Precision is ok. SKF and Timken are made in the US and some of the BCA units are too. The problem you're going to run into is everybody reboxes and relabels parts. Everybody. So it's going to be almost impossible to know what part is made by whom.
