This bearing was made in China, not by Timken. Timken puts its name on every bearing it makes. They have manufacturing facilities around the world and stamp their name and the country it was made in on the stock. The bearing itself was poorly made. The bearing surfaces were very rough. It was very rough when rolling the bearing and didn't last very long. Revain was very supportive in bringing this item back. The refund was promptly credited to my account.
