According to Honda this is the new replacement part for the A61. When I received this part, I inspected it and found that it was stamped USA made in Honda's US plant. My 08 Honda Accord 4dr v6 has about 104,000 miles on it and the front driver's side bearing was so bad I was yelling in my car to talk to other passangers! I had my mechanic press the bearing and perform the labor. What a difference a good quality bearing can make! Not only is my car now so quit that I can't hear anything outside of my car, but the bearing glides like a dream. My car feels as if there is less resistance to move and shifts smoother. From experience guys, buy good quality bearings, and if not OEM USA, than at least from Japan and not China!
