Public service announcement warnings needed!!

[Tim240Z]

Ya know, they really need to start putting public service warnings on all product descriptions (web sites)!! Something like this:

"This product, or any/all of its components, have been manufactured in China. Buyer beware"

I bought 2 sets of wheel bearings from E-Trailer.com, a reputable company. I also bought a spare rim and stabilizer jack.
When I received the package, I noticed that the bearings are made in China. I freaked. I was expecting *** or Timken bearings, not some no-name Chinese ****!!!
I had to install them as I needed to use the trailer (small enclosed, single axle for towing my Karts and spares). As soon as I can source some decent bearings, I will be doing the job over again!

End of rant......

You may just find that the others are produce in China anyway. As many factories in China these days are new with latest machines not all Chines stuff is junk. Contact your supplier and ask them why they sell them, it maybe because they are cheaper and similar quality and to most customers it is $$$$ that counts.

Now that the bearings are in why not just find out how they hold up.
