Axle Dimensions
There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).
The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.
Another helpful measurement to have is the flange-to-flange (C) length, which is measured from the outside of one brake flange to the outside of the one opposite. This length may be easy to obtain if you are replacing an axle, but it's important to note that this measurement is not the preferred method for determining which axle will best fit your trailer.
If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.
Dexters
Dexters are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.
Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

One year later, still works like the day I bought it. Heavy duty axle which has boosted my trailer capacity big time. Smooth and easy maintenance.

The procduct I have bought fell right into place and they protected the parts great and I'll recommend to anyone who needs trailer parts.
by: Jesse09/26/2022
Prompt delivery. Shipment was well protected from in transit damage.The axle fit my trailer perfectly and the u-bolts I ordered with the axle fit as they were supposed to. My wheels were old with a slightly larger bolt circle than the new hubs. Before I abrasive saw cut the old u-bolts, I tried the new hubs with the old wheels and they did not match up. I had to get new tire and wheels with the 4.5 bolt circle mounting holes. Not a big deal as I needed to replace the ties anyway. But testing the old wheels with the new hubs before cutting the the old u-bolts meant I didn't have downtime on the trailer while waiting for the new wheels and tires. The whole changeover, removing the old axle, installing the new axle, and mounting the tires took me about 3 hours at a leisurely pace.

Arrived in good condition and what I ne eded.

Great axle. Very pleased with it. I was shipped the wrong axle butt etrailer sent the correct one and I was able to ship the wrong one back later. Got me on the road a little quicker.
Other than that mishap,Ian pleased with the axle and would consider buying from etrailer in the future.

Direct replacement axle for an older Big Tex landscape trailer I own. Make sure you understand what measurements you need to take from your old axle before ordering. Installed easily, all required parts where in the box (including grease and lug nuts). Also purchased the U-bolt kit.

Installed the dexter 3500 axle and new springs on my 17ft boat trailer and immediately drove the trailer for over 700 miles in one day and the trailer was as smooth as could be. Great axle even came with a tub of marine grease.

E trailer has excellent products and great customer service. I really think the videos on each product is very very helpful. I’ve had dealings with other trailer parts vendors and etrailer is the best of all to deal with. Hats off to this well organized company. They will stay on my trailer need list.

Bolted right into the springs that my bent axle came out of. I was surprised it came with grease as well! Hopefully it lasts 30 years like the one I took off
by: Dave E.06/21/2014
All of the delivered parts were exactly as you said they would be. The videos are extremely helpful for us guys who don't do this stuff every day. I am impressed with your whole company. If I need more parts for my trailer, I know where I will go. Thanks!

Product has preformed as stated it would. We use the trailer that this axle went on every day and have no problems.

- How to Choose Replacement Axle If No Replacement Hubs are AvailableWe do have a potential solution for you, but no hubs that fit those measurements you gave, unfortunately. That isn't altogether surprising though considering you said you had mobile home axles, which are not meant for traveling more than once. So the best option we have is for you to replace your current axle. In order to choose the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center...

- What Axle do I Need for a 205/65-10 Tire with a 10 5 on 4.5 WheelWe have the standard size 3500 lb. axles that work with the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel part # AM3H490 or the 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. Typically a 3500 lb. axle is going to 89". These are generally selected by the center to center of the spring seats and the hub face to hub face measurements. If you have an old axle let me know what these measurements are and I can help find a match. If you're building a trailer to use those tires you will need to go with...
view full answer... - Single Axle Hay Dolly Axle Upgrade with 1.375 Inner and 1.250 Outer Bearings on a Mobile Home AxleThe only recommendation I could make for you would be to install new axles on your trailer. Mobile home axles are designed as one time use axles. They usually have odd spindle sizes on them that make them incompatible with standard trailer hubs. Attached is a page that has all of the axles we have with the correct hubs included. You will want to determine which will suit your trailer based on the overall length axle you want from hub face to hub face, then select the distance between...
view full answer... - Availability of Hub that Uses LM67045 1.25 Inch Inner and Outer BearingI do have an option for you, however, we don't carry any hubs that use bearing number LM67045 for both the inner and outer bearings, or any hubs that use # 02475, # 14125A, # 15123 or # LM67048 (also 1.25 inch ID) for their inner and outer bearings. From what I was able to find, this type of hub was used on 2,500 lb axles on marine or utility trailers dating back to the 1960's for which replacement parts are nearly impossible to find today. Your best option is to replace your axle with...

- Can Axle Spring Seats Be RelocatedYou can certainly relocate the spring perches if you wish, it's a pretty common practice. The process of removing them will likely render them useless, however so you'll likely need to replace them. We offer replacements as part # TRSS238 which are compatible with a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle beam like what the # 35545I-ST-89 axle you'd looked at uses.
view full answer... - Recommendation For Replacing A Dayton Fayette 9222 HubHaving a 1.25 spindle, it can be a few bearings that will fit. However, there will not be a hub that uses both an inner and outer bearing of this size. With that said, I highly recommend replacing your axles with something that will use a more common bearing combo. Doing this will require a few things. If you look at the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # 35545I-ST-89, it will have a hub face to hub face measurement of 89 inches and a center of one spring seat to the center of the other...
view full answer... - Looking for a 3500 Pound Trailer Axle with or without HubsAll of the 3500 pound straight axles we carry measure 89 inches long hub face to hub face and 74 inches long on center from spring seat to spring seat. You would have to order an axle from a local tractor or trailer supply store to your specifications. The other option is to use axle-less suspension such as # ASR3500S05.

I realize this isn't the news you were looking for, but due to the age of the axle and the fact there aren't any replacement hubs, the best option over the long-term will be a new axle. If this is a route you want to go, there are a few things you'll need to know in order to determine the right replacement axle. The first is...

If it is a boat trailer then electric brakes would not be the way to go, as water and electric do not work well together. I will make recommendations with the options you listed you want. Our 3,500 lb axles have the spring seats at 74 inches. If it is not a boat trailer the axle I recommend is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes, part # 35545E-ST-89. This axle measures 89 inches and includes the Includes electric...
view full answer... - What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle for Jet Ski TrailerWhen picking out trailer axles for a trailer you have to match two dimensions. The distance between the spring center so that it can bolt up to hardware on trailer and the distance from hub face to hub face so that the length is correct overall where the wheels will be placed. With the trailer axle # 35545I-ST-89 that you referenced your trailer would need to have 74 inches between the spring seats and 89 inches from hub face to hub face.

The hub-face measurement (A) would be the same as what you have now and the spring-center measurement (B) is taken from the center of one side of your trailer frame to the center of the exact opposite side of the frame. The spring-center is where your leaf springs will be hanging. Since axles like the Dexter # 35545I-ST-89 have the spring seats already welded on it is important to have an accurate spring-center...

- Recommended Replacement Axle With Hubs for a 1970 Evinrude Boat TrailerIn all honesty it's going to be much easier to just replace the entire axle with something like the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # 35545I-ST-89. This axle in particular would replace a 3.5K axle that measures 89" from hub face to hub face, 74" from spring center to spring center, and has a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern. You'd just need to confirm your axle capacity as well as the hub face and spring center measurements for us to get you the right size axle.

- Trailstar Trailer Axle is Bent Causing Tires to Wear QuicklyThe problem may not be your axle at all. Is it bent upwards or downwards towards the ground? If it is upwards then that is normal but down means it does need to be replaced. The reason axles have an upward arc to them is so that when a load is placed on them they straighten out and your tires run evenly. When the inside of the tread on your tires wears on the inside that is a good indication that you are overloading the axle which is causing it to bend down too much. Try checking the...
