Default Axle Shaft Bearings Question???

I went to the dealer to price axle shaft bearings and seals and
came across a different design. What is with the bearing/seal
assembly??? I see Timken has produced a one piece assembly, any
thoughts on these or opinions from users??

Get the traditional two piece. One roller bearing, one seal.

^^^,if the seal goes bad you can just replace it without having to remove the bearing.

Roger that fellas. Thanks. I bought the standard bearing and seal from Lakewood Racing. I didn't know the assembly changed axle positioning. Found it its a repair bearing. Thanks again.

I'm going to bite the bullet with the repair bearing. I've got quite a bad howl on the passengers side. New axles are expensive and I'm not putting more than $12 In a ten bolt

I heard great things about the Timken one piece repair bearings. Have
a nice warranty with them as well. I would rather spend $30 as well.haha.
My wear pattern on my axles are fine, so I'm going to use the standards.
