It really is crazy sometimes what they send you . I had the good fortune recently at the r@ck , got some excellent German made parts at a nice price , but I was reluctant to order a whole bunch until I saw what they sent me !
Sounds like your bearing is a "dud" . Return postage is a hassle , but just part of the "game" , I guess . Parts used to be wrapped in corrosion proof paper and sealed containers , not so much these days . Remember the GM/SAAB hologram tamper seal labels ...a thing of the past . The Internet is the "Wild West of Auto Parts" these days .
My most recent order was for a thermostat {made in Israel} and a water pump from some place called China . The last thermostat was from France , and the old water pump was from USA . I replace them @ 80k miles wherever they were made !
Good Luck !!
If my car was a person , it would have a beautiful and diverse heritage , not sure there is much Swedish left in the mix !!!
