    Any Axle bearings made in usa?

    Thought I might change the axle bearings and seals on the 03. Would like to buy USA made bearings & seals but have no idea what brand(s) to look for these days. Any info? Otherwise is Koyo made in Japan?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Koyo, Timken, NTN. Doubt any of those are US-made. Last NTN bearings I got were Brazil.

      Maybe check out SKF. Not sure if they're still made here though. Hopefully the axle shafts aren't torn up like they are prone to do on the 03's. Been down that road 3 times on my 03 LX Sport.
      These are highly engineered precision vehicles, the first step in diagnosing the problem is to strike the suspected offending part sharply and repeatedly with a blunt object, then re-test.

        About 35Km miles iirc. They looked good about 5k ago which surprised me a bit. Going to pull them to get to parking brake stuff so thought I would change bearings this time. Certainly seals.
