LOL. The main reason that VMs failed to get aftermarket spares banned from the shelves across Europe was because they often don't make them themselves anyway. Open a QH, Balco, Masterparts or Ford box and it wouldn't be that unlikely to find the same bearings in all of them.

You did replace both parts of the bearing didn't you?

Well assuming you're replacing them as per the instructions the only other thing that kills them is the hub being distorted (the hole not being circular or the stub being bent) It's pretty rare though. Normally They die from contamination or incorrect preload.

Just a thought...As other posters have said, it's looking like stub axles, bent hubs, etc
