I ordered a set of bearings from Amazon to keep as spare parts, and they are Made in USA Timken items. On others experience I came to know they are very high quality.

The absolute worst bearings Ive experienced were some chinese origin bearings (cant remember the name) but they only lasted a few weeks on an old toyota cressida front hub.
