Info on Timken Bearings Set 17 (L68149/L68111)......
Amazon show images of bearings that have USA imprinted on them, but under "Technical Details" it states country of origin as China. Some Amazon reviewers state that they received bearings Made in USA. I may chance it and return if not USA made. I'm not even sure if stamped USA means made in USA or assembled in USA.
Called Summit Racing today and had them check on the same bearings. Customer service has information that is not available on their website that includes builder/manufacturer information. They looked them up and assured me their info states, "Country of Origin: USA."
I hope this information helps those that prefer to use Timken bearings.
I heard and read the same thing regarding where the bearings are made. So far every set of Timken's I've bought from Amazon have been made in the USA. Though, the Timken seals seem to come from Taiwan or Mexico.
