Any concerns with durability or corrosion when going with assemblies that have the Dorman hubs? Seems like most of the options include a high quality bearing with a Dorman hub.
Also, will I be able to tell whether or not my old bearing is a factory one when I take it off? I am not the original owner so I don’t know the complete history of the vehicle.

I replaced my fronts with the assemblies (from blue pit bearings. I think He sold through his own website, but also on ebay with a different name). They were done in 2013 @78,000 miles. I'm now at 253k and no problems. Koyo bearings and Doorman hubs. BTW, when I got my press, I pressed out the old bearings to try and keep the OEM hubs, which I still have. The inner bearing race stayed on the hub and the bearings came apart. Not surprised and it allowed be to see that water must've gotten into the bearings. They looked red, which I took to be from some rust. Not much, but enough to toast the bearings. But again, my current set up is A-ok.
