Autozone or Napa Echlin, Quality?

I bought Timken brand bearings for the front of my Barracuda when I swapped to disk brakes. One said Made in USA, one said Made in Romania and the other two said Made in Malaysia. If I recall correctly the Timken brand seals were Made in Singapore.

I have purcahsed Moog parts and had them say different places of manufacture for the same part.

As far as alternators, starters and water pumps I always buy rebuilt parts just because the come with a life time warranty vs 90 days for a new one from the dealer that cost twice as much to boot. Also, I never had any issues with them either in my 30 years.
