Trevor, I thought that the main problem with this bearing was size and design (svx vs.forrester style) and not necessarily quality? Would that bearing number you presented result in the same design bearing OR a different design (better) that would merely fit?
At least one of my hubs was replaced with a stock hub after a bad bearing. I assume that if a bearing goes quickly, the next step is to replace both the hub and bearing together, as the Hub seat could have been compromised.

I would like to see a picture of a bad bearing, not one that has exploded, but one with only a mild noise, and then see the wear pattern on the bearing surfaces. Unfortunately my bearing replacement at the dealer did not yield an old part, so I was out of luck.
