So I got the latest SKF hubs from rock auto, really good price, but they are now made in Korea. I looked at one at NAPA (for about $100 more each!) And they are identical, also labeled made in Korea. They look good, and hopefully they last. At least they aren't made in China  They are still beefier than the OEM ones that made it 200k FWIW |

Had to admit it but Korea can make some really good products,most of the ships built are made there along with there engines. |

Do you think they are as good as the ones that were made in Canada? |

Makes sense, they have a similar culture to Japan that makes their factories amazingly cooperative, throughout production and assembly. Good jobs for the workers also. |
