Though this might be interesting. Got two Timken wheel wheel bearings in. Same box, same part number 513106. One would think you would be getting the same parts. Wrong again. One bearing was SNR from France and the other was FAG from Slovakia. Both known manufacturers but in the global economy no telling what will appear in the box. Even saw the same Timken bearings saying made in China.
Timken used to be a top line USA bearing manufacturer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Attached image(s)

We are in a global economy, anything goes. I would prefer an American made Timken, but ... I think FAG's are ok, but the Japs have some high quality/precision stuff
