The worst, installing a new part that was a failure right out of the box. At least, you didn't have to dig back into the front cover.

As far as bearings, the vast majority are chinese junk. The nissan unit might even be chinese but with better QC. You can always pop it out and install a US sourced bearing or even ceramic but that's probably overkill unless running a supercharger.
