OEM bearing is made by FAG but be very careful about their quality with aftermarket parts. When I did rear bearing jobs on my 97 manual, I found one slightly undersized than others right out of the box that felt ‘loose’ in the bore even after the hub pressed in. It felt different from another side already replaced and I got uncomfortable enough to take it apart and do it over. Bearings were on sale and I bought two more for front job in future so I tried another and all went good and tight. Those were not expensive as they are commonly used on many European cars, but I don’t trust their quality control.
