Y’all still recommending Timken for the Axle bearing/ hub assembly?

Thanks

I am Timken guy, used plenty of them on semi-trailers. Used them on the JK when I had to pull an axle.
 
I bought a Timken front hub a couple years ago and was bummed out when I saw a "made in china" sticker on the box.

A year or so later I bought one for the other side. I didn't really want to but I have no idea if any are made in the USA anymore. Now I'm just hoping that what I bought is actually made to the standards that Timken has used throughout it's life of making things in America.

Back in February my wife and I went to the William McKinley Presidential Library and Museum in Canton, Ohio and saw this:

And this (among other stuff):

It's ben about 5000 miles since the first one I bought and so far so good. I hope it stays that way for another 50,000

Timken is fine. I got SKF last time hoping they were better quality but found out they are also made in China.
