Here ya go, right off the Moog hub assembly:
Apparently, Iljin is a global manufacturer of bearings and steel, see here.
Iljin now has plants in Michigan, South Carolina and Alabama...and apparently makes and sells bearings under the Moog and SKF brands. If my bearing came from Korea, not sure what they make here stateside.
Of course a little Goolging turned up this recall notice, fortunately my part # was not included. Interesting that the manufacturer lists the Michigan address and part #s under all 3 brands, SKF, Moog, and Iljin.
As a side note, I about busted a gut last night, the torque spec for the caliper cage bolts on the front of a 2500 Suburban are a whopping 221 ft/lbs! A 1/2" torque wrench only goes to 150, so I got out my 24" breaker bar and leaned on it till it looked like it was gonna snap and called that 221 ft/lbs.
