Dexter Hub Vs. Kodiak Hub Comparison
Question:
What is a better hub, Dexter 8-248-50 or Kodiak Q-HUB84545? Also, how can I be sure I get the right seals, I cant find any markings on the old ones. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
I would go with the Dexter part # 84545BX as Dexter has an excellent reputation and because the brackets where the wheel studs mount on this hub are thicker and tend to be less likely to crack when compared to other hubs that use thinner material there like the part # Q-HUB84545.
I attached review videos for both hubs for you to check out as well.
