so true , imagine wheel bearing seizing at the wrong moment,,, omg.... bad. (same with tails shaft bearings. (all cluster and counter shaft bearings)
id look at all NSK marks with a critical eye, i thing NSK has a logo check pages. lets see, (how to identify NSK counterfeits)
Nachi and Koyo are both good, not counterfeited...
oh yes, and remembering all the bolts. i do feel that pain,, been there, , and then had to do length checks to sort it.
trusted source, (not ebay , LOL)
packing on all bearings look same, look non hacked? if the package colors look like kids did it , they did.
loose? fit, (lots of ways)
milling looks crude?
logo's , missing, wrong place or look poor, its not real , as are other marks that make no sense, like china chicken feet marks,etc.
old bearings have stamped marks, NSK.
new ones are laser etched, and very perfect and clear (type faces) super clear.
here is the extreme that NSK goes to , to stop this. 2d laser marks.

10,000% increase in counterfeits, in last 20 years. stated at , World Bearing Association (WBA)
its real and a real PITA, all this....
id tell seller he , shipped junk... get a refund. you will get. fast.
use refund to buy real bearings.
each bearing maker has a cross reference page.
you old bearings were koyo, (mine were) but i think you said, your are 2nd rebuilder. if true the koyo, the numbers are on these sides of old koyo's
and can be crossed easy
when i got mine all boxes of bearings were legit. i checked them very carefully
and each bearing was packed in grease and wrapped, and all the same way.
if not, I would have rejected any bearing that looks like it did not come from the factory to me....
it cuts both ways!
some distributors make claims of counterfeit that are not true.. (ending competition there)
dirty deals.
and price fixing....
this photos is of man cutting a good bearing

it was later, traced to a real FAG bearing plant. but the news media never checked that out.
