Good morning.

The joys of mail order!

Just to cheer you up. At that price they're bound to be of pretty poor quality too. I bet they didn't come with a seal for the bottom bearing either

Cheers.

Not correct. Bottom bearing should be RS type to keep crap out. It does help a lot. Don't fit plain.

Don't get why you would buy that when quality parts are available
