Default Source for engine bearings

I take exception to the statement that Boca sells cheap Chinese bearings. Not so much that Boca sells Chinese bearings, but that you can buy a SKF, Timken, or whatever bearing and it will probably be made in China. I recently purchased a set of front wheel bearings for a car I was working on. I bought SKF, guess what? Made in China. Just because it is made in China, that does not equate to junk. This reminds me of the jokes about Japanese made junk in the sixties. Nobody jokes about Japanese quality today.

Boca is definitely not the cheapest, but they have no problem selling in small quantities, and they stock different grades of bearings for the same application.
