Are the OE still sourced from/made by timken and not in china somewhere at the same plant the aftermarket ones are made now?
I'd just run it till it dies, they are not hard to swap.

The last ones I got were timken, that was a couple years ago. I've tried one through autozone or orielly's and bought a front set from amazon labeled "Detroit" brand and all those only lasted like a season. I have one on my bench I have been meaning to cut apart to see what is going on. Maybe I will go stick it in the band saw now.
