I was starting to worry that Timkin had made a deal with a Chinese company to make their bearings, good to hear you can still get USA made bearings...WW

That's reassuring.
I will check them when I get home - in FL right now. Mine are due, they have over 120k miles on them. I got them From Advance Auto years ago... made by Chicago Rawhide. They were GREAT! |

I will confirm, but a friend just bought SKS and I am pretty sure he mentioned Sweden.
