Which bearings does everybody run on their trailer?
Everything seems to be made in China. Any good USA made bearings out there?

I have always used Timken, but a few years ago I heard they were also outsourcing some of their production. Check the box they come in...should say USA
SKF, NTN, Timken, NSK. Most any hearing not made in China. Most popular around here is Timken followed by SKF.

Just replaced mine with Timken. Box said made in USA with outsourced components. Keep the grease in and the water out and most bearings should last.

I was using cheap ones I bought in a kit until last time I had one of the bearings feel like they had a flat spot, so I went to NAPA and bought a replacement. The Napa bearing felt 10Xs smoother than the cheap ones in the kit. Ill be buying them from NAPA from now on. To me worth it.

Not many choices except imports. Precision Bearing used to make Bearings in Omaha Ne. Dutton Lainson in Hasting Ne. was another. I see Dutton Lainson has imported bearings now.
Having replaced both hubs on my 2015 Bass Cat trailer in the last two years, VAULT is NOT at the top of my list...…….period.
8 year old vaults, so far so good.
