For those of you who have had your trailer for a long time, what is your opinion regarding where you get your wheel bearings? I'm seeing China-made ones available for 1/3 to 1/4 if the price of Timken bearings and races made in Ohio.
I am all for supporting the American worker, especially if they make a superior product. Does 4x the price turn out to be 4x the quality, or lasts 4x as long? It would certainly be a lot more expensive to use Timken bearings and races but if that means they will basically last forever (with the appropriate preventative maintenance) then I am all for it.
Opinions and experiences please!
