WHo told you the inner and outer primarys are made in China? Is Baker the factory in China? Last i knew, Baker made the transmission and whole Primary assembly....... am i wrong?
Wheel bearings are made by FAG, Korean or Canada.

All the stock wheel bearings I've replaced so far have said "China" on them.

Didn't anyone have to tell me the inner/ outer primarys are made in Tiawan, Ive seen them in the box with the BDM part number with the Taiwan label on them, Baker is all American or i still hope so, they cost over 3k and come with a 5 year warranty, or you can buy cheap Korean junk like Revtech or Roadmax transmissions for less than half the price, and anytime you can buy a wheel bearing for 5 bucks at the dealer it's not going to be made here in the USA or Canada,...Dave.

Sorry to say, but I'm afraid the days of getting anything made 100% in America are gone forever, especially electronic components.

What REALLY gripes me, though, is when I go to my favorite Catholic store to buy a rosary, crucifix or whatever, turn it over and it says 'Made in China"...:zzdisappointed::(

Well, Catholics are worldwide not just in the USA. The fact is if you bought the rosary from a american factory, it would cost you triple. Those strawberries we all eat, would cost triple at least if it wasnt for the illegal labor. China will some day own the USA with all the debt they own. It's like 800 billion. :angry:
