This ships as a complete replacement including bearings, seals, studs, and axle nuts. The bearings are completely junk, use at your own risk. Bearing was marked "China" and a part number. Upon driving in with a bearing driver the first hit went fine and then it got exceptionally tight. I swung a few more hits and I knew from previous repairs I had done that it should be going in. Well, I swing really hard and the bearing then broke apart (still using the bearing driver). Said a few choice words and spent the next hour fishing the remains and broken race out of the axle tube. Upon removing the broken parts I found a very small circular sliver of axle tube (look closely in the picture of the broken bearing and it is on the left yellow sticky note). The replacement bearing in the Dorman kit was oversized by a few thousandths. I went to local parts store and got a good Made in the USA stamped "National 513023" bearing and a new Timken seal (wasn't going to use the China one). This bearing drove in nicely with only moderate swings on the bearing driver. I did use the axle studs that came with the kit as they pressed in nicely with no issues. There was a little water / rust damage on the axle itself but that was not Dorman's fault (Box was wet at some point and then sat). I did leave feedback to the seller (box was opened and re-taped closed prior to shipping) as it was third party and not Amazon. The axle cleaned up with Scotch brite pads and a flat file.

Still in use today, installed it myself and it has been at least 2 or 3 years since then. Worth every penny.
