All ball bearings= China bearing Undecided. I use SKF which is a real good bearing. Some of the SKF are made over seas and some here in the USA. When you order them they can tell you were they are made.

I'm on Argentinian SKF bearings now.  I got them at Purvis.  A buddy is on American SKF bearings.  He got them at Motion Industries in Ft Worth.  Probably just luck of the draw. 

Better than the chinese bearings Napa had.

The last I got for the rear were MRC, which are made in USA. About $45 each...

I'm running SKF front and rear.  The 6204 front bearings were made in Argentina while the 3204 rear were made here in the USA.  I'm not concerned about a quality issue with the 6204s.  SKF is one of the top bearing manufacturers in the world.  I go to Motion Industries for all my bearings.

I haven't had to replace mine but I thought Timken was the choice supplier for bearings?

http://www.timken.com/EN-US/PRODUCTS/BEARINGS/PRODUCTLIST/Pages/default.aspx


In my research, I haven't been able to find a Timken 5204 bearing that meets the specs.  Timken's catalog will tell you that their 5000 series bearing is sold unlubricated which means it doesn't have seals.
