Richard is the tech editor for Mopar Action magazine.

I imagine if they are roller bearings they would be Timken brand?

Timken seems to be one of the few companies that still takes quality control seriously. We use lots of them and I see France, Poland, Japan etc on them.

\China is very capable of producing the quality that we USED to. It all depends on the specifications they are given and PAID for. Not all of their companies are capable but many have become so. We have become way to dependent on them IMO. Can we turn the clock back? We're going to need leaders and workers that want to. Take a look at what the UAW is asking for.
I'd like all that as well. But it's going to drive the cost of the product up which does what ?
This is not a political commentary, just stating facts as I see them.

It's not where things are made but who's making it.

I just ordered a set from Rick for my son's '68 Dart GTS. I had a question and he got back to me VERY FAST with a complete and convincing answer.

Here's the listing for reference:

I carry Timken/USA and Precision/China tapered roller wheel bearing/seal/gasket kits as well as billet steel 5-hole adjusters/retainers and housing end studs. They are priced as PAIRS. See below:

I've bought from Rick over the years for things I needed...Spent some time talking with him at Carlisle a couple years back...

But...Cass is my go to when I need the parts he sells...

The additional knowledge he's able to provide I can't put a price on...

He's gotten me out of a couple issues that I created simply with a phone call... bow

Just as recently as a week ago...

although i have never met Cass in person, he IS a good businessman indeed !
the couple of dealings i have had with him have been spot on in description of the product, as well as shipping the product across the country ! up
