Some years ago I bought Timken bearing for a vehicle. I got home and there was a white note in both boxes stating the bearings were made in China and the box may be labeleed incorrectly. That was a real eye opener.
At least these say made in USA. I did send Timken a message requesting an explanation, we'll see if they respond.
