Hello Lynwood

What they told me was Timken sold their factory and will no longer be making bearings in the US.

They also told me KAYO is moving that operation to Canada.

It doesn’t make any difference to me I haven’t been having the problems with the Chinese bearings that a lot of people have.

When I put new shoes on the Montana I looked at the outer bearings only and they were made in China I now have over 100,000 miles on the Montana without a wheel bearing problem.

Now frame problems are a different story. LOL
