Timken or skf?
I'm not sure about either but my car needs new hubs all around and I honestly don't want to go with either brand since tinkem is now made in China and skf is made in Taiwan. If any of u guys went with either how are liking them so far? Anyone know of a good brand that is made within our boarders?
And just to clear things up both brand were previously made in USA

That stinks about Timken not being made in the U.S. anymore
I'm interested to know if you find a hub that is made in the U.S. If not, I'll still back Timken at the moment (the hope would be that they still uphold a quality product despite being made over seas).
But if you find a U.S. made one that is worth using, PLEASE let us know.

Damn Koyo!!!!
While I will first support an American manufacture, Timken still seems to have plants in the US; all over actually.

I just got a set in for my fronts; I'll check what the hub or box has written on it, but I believe it...sigh.
Supposedly they are still made with the same machinery but you know...We shall see.
Hope the studs and everything are the same length!!!

Where was your car assembled?

Ahahaha. So all of those made in Mexico parts I have are also from America. I like where this is going.

He is correct..lol. I've got Mexico and Can parts in the car iirc...lol
It pretty much means nothing nowadays seening as how we have American parts being made overseas and assembled here.... Don't we also have "imports" being manufactured here as well; namely Honda?
Meh, good thing we still make the best firearms...haha

That's broad statement; maker, round, range, define crap? Also, a "real M16 or a AR15? Either way, I stand behind my statement... eeeee
