I was watching your other thread too. I've had similar troubles with certain bearings from "certain" countries.
Unless I have absolutely no choice, I won't use a bearing that isn't made in the US, Germany, Japan, Switzerland etc.. The metallurgy and heat treatment that is so important for bearings is what is misunderstood and/or skimped on in places like China, Mexico and India.
I'm not sure where Green Bearing makes theirs but I know even some Timkens are made in Mexico and those used to be my "go to" along with NSK
