Are SKF bearings made in China?

I recently got some SKF wheel bearings marked "Made in Italy". So not all are from China. SKF or Svenska Kullagerfabriken (swedish ballbearingfactories), has currently 140 factories in 32 countries and are world's largest ballbearing producing company, good change China is one of the 32 countries.

Maybe the best answer.

Here's the old one:



says NATIONAL / ILKIN on it.

Only lasted 75,000 miles...

Not trying to hijack your post here but, I have an 05 Ford Explorer 4.6 all wheel drive that keeps eating rear whee bearings. No abnormal wear anywhere. But happening on both sides. Averaging about 15k miles per bearing. Buying the best Oriellys has to offer. Have had more than one reputable shop install them also. So don’t believe it’s the installer.

I purchased O'Reillys bearings for mine also, but their standard house brand. I don't know about their "best" they offer. They don't last. I got 17k out of one of them. I recently went back with Motorcraft.

That bearing sounds like it really needs to be replaced. I would be surprised if it rolled down the road at all!

I have done well with Timken bearings.

Good luck.

Motorcraft (which are made by ***) or SKF only. Everything else won't last.
