wheel bearing brand

I see lots of topics on it but no followup on quality

I see wjb, Detroit axle ,Moog, raybestos, skf, timkin and prices are all over the board

What is known good and known crap I don't want to spend this time/money twice

Timkin has always been associated with high quality. But.....with more and more companies switching over to hecho en China, I cant say who's the best anymore.

I bought Timkins last year from NAPA and they were USA made, identical to the originals.

I ordered timkens on amazon and AC delco rotors, Moog problem solver ball joints, AC delco axle u joints

Everything is now grease able ( except hub)

So now I am trying to figure if I should stay with the red grease or go to the black molylube
