Strange, I have tested hundreds of bearings from jet engines to diesel generators. Never saw a difference in manufacturing. Also "Made in China"does have the same meaning as it did years ago.
But it sure is still a possibility, strange though. My buddy just bought a new trailer (EZ load) ld one was an 87' and he never threw a bearing trailering from Plymouth to Quincy once a week.(for 20 yrs) Now he has a new EZ loader 2 seasons no issues (YET).
Now that we went off the subject, I am more confused than ever on what to do with my fuel tank this winter. I had pump problems this season, but I don't know if it was fuel related.
I burned the tank as low as I could and stabablized. I don't worry about condensation. I think its more likely to develop sitting in the water all summer with hot days and cool nights than in the winter covered in my driveway.
I still don't know what I will do this winter. But I do know I don't want to think about it right now !!!!!
