I'd be fairly surprised if RA sold me something else in a Timken box (edit: come to think of it they have fucked up some parts I've ordered before..), but as I posted earlier the $20CAD/each uber cheap Chinese stamped RA bearings don't have this machining feature so I don't believe that's the case. I think this is a ABS hub feature as someone else alluded too above.
I had a few discussions with our sales department about them at my last job and they are not officially a customer so it's impossible to enforce MAP pricing.

As another data point, I went and purchased new Duralast ABS hubs at autozone. No machining where the studs go in, but.....
Dafuq? Why would they machine them there?
notable markings?
@OGRacing do your auto zone parts store hubs have this machining on them?

Do you guys think that second set of machining is a problem? Are OEM ABS hubs machined there? Don't have one handy at the moment...
Still paging @OGRacing to see if his surprisingly durable ABS Duralast hubs have the same machining mine do.
I hope so. I'd like to run them. Only paid $46 apiece for them.
