    It looks like the National bearings are the ticket and even endorsed by NASCAR......woooooooooo!! I always thought Timken bearings were the best?

    NBC gets their tapered roller bearings (which is what front wheel bearings are) from NTN. NTN has a bunch of manufacturing plants around the world including China and India. Pretty much all bearing companies are that way including Timkin, SKF, FAG, DPI, KYK, Koyo, Nachi, etc. Apparently some put the country the parent company is in as country of origin instead of where it was actually made so its really hard to tell where they were actually made.
