Who Sales USA or Euro Made Front Wheel Bearings? 200

I just used the last set of 240 Front Wheel Bearings from my horde, so I figured it was time to restock. Original Volvo bearings last so long that it has been quite some time since I bought any.

I was a little surprised to find that TASCA wants $121 for a front wheel bearing kit or about $100 for just the inner and outer bearings. Being the cheap bastard that I am, I searched around for a better deal. NAPA seemed to offer the only ones worth using; pictured on their website were SKF's, made in the USA at about $25 for a set. I ordered six sets which arrived as SKF's sure enough, but made in Mexico. While Mexico might reign supreme in the production of reefer, I've always found their handling of hardened steel to come up lame, so I refused the order.

So . . . does anyone know of a vendor still selling 240 Front Wheel Bearings which are made in the USA, or Sweden, or Germany or even Poland, for that matter?

Thanks, one and all,

Rich
