How did you order the bearings? There is a huge counterfit bearing manufa=
cturing market. I have lost count how many times over the last 6 years I'v=
e had to investigate them. The last set of ball bearings I bought were skf b=
ut we're obviously not legitimate. I took it with me to skf on a visit and c=
onfirmed it was not made in any of their factories. =20
If you've got concerns of counterfit bearings send me some pictures and I ca=
n help.=20
