    I just had the Timken front bearings out of my Chebby C3500. USA is stamped on the inner and outer races. :huh:
    Is this one of those "Assembled" in the USA vs "Manufactured" in the USA instances?

    I retired 15 years ago. When I was there, the plant in Bucyrus, Ohio made bearings of that approximate size. They have many more plants over the world now. They also have many plants in the U.S.A. I have no clue where bearings for our cars are made now.
