Looking for the front inner & outer wheel bearings on Ford 2WD pickups that aren't made in China, preferrably in the USA, but that may not be possible.
Where are the OEM parts made?
National are made in China.
House brands (Advance, AutoZone, & O-Reilly) are all made in China.
Any ideas which one of these would be my best best if OEM can't deliver? Mevotech, Centric, Centric C-TEK, Beck Arnley (can't find all 4 parts), Timken, WJB, [censored], NTN, Koyo, NAPA, Altrom

Thank you.

Timken inners and outers I bought a couple years ago for my 2wd Toyota pickup were all made in Poland. They have been working just fine, and are still on the same Valvoline red bearing grease that I used when they were installed. Will do a clean and re-pack when it needs front brake pads again.

A friend of mine buys shop stock when they go out of business. I sent him a txt with your numbers.

When I had a bearing fail on the front of my truck I had to buy what was available that day. Some came from napa, others from O'Riley's, a race from autozone etc. Some China,Australia etc. I really had to mix and match to get enough to do both sides.

I packed them with quality grease and they have been fine for 60k.

Oh if you can get koyo those are good.

Thank you sir!

Evidently, F.A.G. bearings were censored in my list above.
Most of those other brands come from Autoanything.com, PartsGeek.com, or CarParts.com. I haven't ordered from any of them so don't know how reliable they are regarding counterfeit, etc.

I found some NTN bearings for the Ranger on eBay, made in the USA

OEM or Japanese. Good luck!

The local bearings & drives store can get any bearing in any make/brand, but be willing to pay.

F.A.G bearings because the name makes me laugh. And they're supposed to be good stuff. I wish we sold them at work because I'd put them in my truck!

I used to know a guy who worked there. For some reason no one wanted any company shirts or hats.

Try this:

They will have a local place near you to pickup or they will ship to you.

I use this company because they always have what I want for all types of equipment.....Tell them you don't want the Chinese stuff...They offer many from Poland, Argentina, Germany.....all good quality...They also have the cheap stuff too.

I buy Koyo from Ebay or Amazon.

How many brand new cars and trucks have bearings made in China? Might as well go yell at clouds.

My buddy thinks he has them. Can't get to them till Monday. What's the exact application?
