Both my axles were replaced under warranty by Dexter and they came complete with drums, brakes everything. I had the local shop repack the bearings on all 4 hubs as there was very little grease in any of them. I believe this was the problem in the first place.
I am comfortable adding a couple of shots of grease in the EZ lube once a year and every couple of years I will pull them and manually repack and change the inner seal. I use Pennzoil Premium 707L wheel bearing grease and have used that for a long time.
I bet the cheap brakes were made offshore, I have found them advertised at about that price.
