I have a Hustler 980. Built 1 1/4" splined axels that are 3 inches longer than stock. My outer bearings are going bad in a very short amount of time. I do understand the added stress that longer axels puts on the outer bearing. Does anyone know a a higher quality bearing that I could use. I currently have been buying the China made for 9-12$ each. I can't find any other bearings that are of higher quality. I have asked the bearing ckmpanies and the keep telling me that the centric bearing is all made in China. Please help!
