You sure those bearings you bought aren't made in China? I just picked up a new set and installed them this weekend and I couldn't find any around here that weren't made in China. They all said they were Timken, but turns out they were referring to the style.
Well, it's been a while since I started this thread and so far things have been fine with the trailer, but keep in mind that I got rid of the original axle and installed a far better axle.
