BCA Bower bearings still say USA on them. The hard part is finding them. The last set I got was from a guy on a boating board who worked at a distributor and sent me a set after I lamented that I couldn't find a set made in US.

Jim, try contacting Champion Trailer Parts Supply in Slidell,LA here to see if they can help you out. They might have what you are looking for. They usually have good prices and their shipping rates are reasonable. Good luck


Thanks. They have the ones I need in stock but don't know what brands. They are 20mi from here, so I will take a ride tomorrow and see what they have.

SKF" (a Scandinavian company, I believe) is another high quality bearing manufacturer. Some Napa dealers carry their bearings.

Purchased SKF bearing seals at Napa last week,,,,twice the price of their regular brand and "made in Mexico". You cant win but at least it was not China. They were the double lip type seal that Dexter uses on their EZ lube system, the cheap ones (not even in packaging) did not. They also carried the SKF in bearings.
