Question:

Dexter Trailer Hubs and Drums - 84545BX Is this a made in USA item? Dexter site is 2X the price, why? Is this the same item on Dexter website? Are bearings made in China? What is the stud size 1/2X20?

I spoke with my contact at Dexter and they told me that the hub is manufactured in the US. The items we feature are the same as you would find on the Manufacturers site. Our price levels reflect what our costs are.The bearings are sourced and could be made in a number of places, most being outside the US. The 1/2 X 20 stud would mean it is a 1/2 inch bolt with 20 threads per inch. There would be a third dimension that would be the total length of the bolt including the head, so if you wanted a bolt 2 inches long it would be 1/2-20x2.
