I had a bearing go out on the front wheel of my Ford Escape about three years ago; the thing screamed like mad. In all my years of driving and all the cars I’ve owned, that had not happened before.
My son’s Toyota just had the same problem.
It makes me wonder where the bearings were manufactured.
The photo of the bearings reminds me of my high school days, working at Kansas City’s “East Side Auto Parts” (unfortunately, long out of business,) in the machine shop, packing drum and rotor bearings with Valvoline bearing grease - my lord, that stuff STUNK!
