How about SKF and possibly Detroit Axle. Some Timken bearings are as well esp if you buy them local instead of online.

I bought a Timken hub bearing assembly made in the USA.
You might check an industrial maintenance supply place nearby. Be sure and have the dimensions of the original. I found some bearings for a mower spindle at one kinda near me. But that was a few years ago so... good luck!
I bought SKF wheel bearings for my XJ
Front were the studs are, made in Slovakia
Bearing Housing stamped F.A.G
and the Tail end Bearing is Made in China
Made in USA? Nope still a decent wheel bearing though.

SKF is Swedish. They have factories all over the world, including the USA and probably Germany as well. The bearing itself will be marked with an indication of where that specific unit was made.

They have a while ago. Most I have seen are Asian now. And complaints about failure have also gone up a little.
Still better than white box but disappointing.

Last SKF I bought was made in Korea. However, contrary to popular belief there are still a great deal of automotive parts that are high quality and made in USA. Among many other products.
The AC Delco I got off Amazon for my Century were made in the USA. They were double the price of the cheap parts
Just saying that I am also interested in this conversation.
How about Koyo, aren't they made in japan?
