Anyone know who still has BCA or Timken bearings that are made in the USA still. All the new ones say China on them and my parts stores warehouse won't open the kits for a 9" to check. The parts store ordered 2 in and both made in China (2 different brands). I need wheel bearings and a 9" rebuild kit, I think I'm going to call both companies next week.

Sad that the USA made stuff is going the way of NORS .

 

Pretty sure the wheel bearings I got for my 9" at NAPA were USA, not sure if they were SKF or Timken (they come in a NAPA Bearings box). I paid a few bucks extra for their "better" grade.

Better:
NAPA AUTO PARTS

Cheaper:
NAPA AUTO PARTS

Personal opinion, as distasteful as Hecho en China is, if it's Timken, it's good.

 

I get all of my bearings and seals from AIT, they have a store locally......if you have a part # or even just dimensions they can get it.

I am very very sorry to say this, but you had better get use to it, thats
why this countrys down the tolet. And it trickled right down to where I

say "we defeted them in WW11) and they came back and got us in the
wallet. Smart aint they! Who said this "the pen is mignter that the sword"??
