I picked up a set of wheel bearings for my TT last week at a store that sells bearings, seals and a few tools. The name of the place has "Bearings" in it. It has been there for 40 years that I know of. When I told the counter guy that I drive out there to get Timken bearings because they are made in the USA, he said "not anymore." He said they are now made in China. I wish mine had said made in USA. On the other hand, if they had said USA I would wonder how long they had been in the pipeline or sitting on a shelf. Hmmm.
