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.
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.
E-Z Lube Spindles Make Lubrication Simple
The E-Z Lube spindles on this axle are meant to work with E-Z Lube-compatible hubs to make lubricating your bearings quick and easy. Each E-Z Lube spindle has a zerk fitting on the end. And every E-Z Lube hub comes with a grease cap that has an easy-to-remove rubber plug. Just pop out the plug on the cap to access the zerk on the spindle. When you inject grease into the zerk with a grease gun, the grease will flow to both the inner and outer bearings of the hub, lubricating the bearings and forcing out old, ineffective grease. Once you see new grease beginning to be pushed out, you know that your bearings are fully lubricated. This means that you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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.
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.

I have had this axle on my trailer for a year now and could not be happier with it. Customer service was great dealing with them. I would highly recommend getting items for your trailer from here.

Mission accompolished just a few minutes ago. The attached (3) images attached tell the story.
Any customer relocating spring seats should measure closely before welding new seats in place to fit their trailer needs.
Again your technical assistance and quick order leave me a very very satisfied customer..

Adam was extremely helpful! After searching long and hard, the closest I could find was this axle of 80” spring centers. Mine were only 76” so Adam set me up with a pair of spring seats so I could carefully cut of the factory ones, grind smooth and weld the new seats at the 76” I needed to fit my trailer. After repainting, it looked like factory again. All others parts, brake assemblies, and drum/hub assemblies with bearings fit perfect!

Fast delivery, part was the correct one, with one exception. I had to have the mounting bracket repositioned just like the previous one I ordered.
Once that is done, it’s a perfect fit. Thus I could only give 4 instead of 5 stars.

Very nicely packaged quality axle. Super fast shipping.

As described. I had to have the spring mounts moved in but that's not uncommon. Works as it should, Thanks.

Needed this Dexter Axle to repair the car trailer to get to our local race track this week.
Communication, tracking of this Axle put me at at ease.
THANK YOU!

Great price and service with special care in packaging for damage free shipping.

I have always received quality products and prompt service from etrailer. I was, however, surprised to find that the same axle that I order in the fall of last year had gone up $70 in price and the u-bolt kit price nearly doubled!
by: Todd B08/05/2020
Easy to install, comes with a grease fitting that makes greasing the bearings a cinch! Perfect fit and etrailer shipped it out fast!
by: Wade 06/21/2023
It was what I ordered.
by: Jeff10/18/2019
Best axels available. The bend in the middle prevents the tires from wearing the inside edges down when carrying heavy loads. Shipping is always fast from etrailer. The axel arrived half way across the country in only 3 days! Grear company to deal with.

Exactly what I needed to replace after hitting a pole and bending the old axle fit like a glove.

I can’t believe how quickly I received this item! Ordered on a Friday afternoon and received on the next Wednesday. Courtney was very helpful on phone. Thank you!

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- How to Mount Leaf Springs to Top of New Boat Trailer AxleWhile we do have a solution for you, the axles we offer are an underslung design, but you can change that to get the leaf springs mounted to the top of your axle with an over/under kit. First, in regards to the axle, to find the right replacement you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; the other thing you need to know is the weight capacity of the axle you need, which should match or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. For...
view full answer... - Is the Dexter 7359765-EB A Drop Spindle AxleAccording to our records, you ordered a # 7359765-EB lb straight axle, not a 4 inch drop. For a 4 inch drop spindle axle, you'd want to order part # 7685269. I've linked you to a product description video featuring the Dexter # 7685269 axle.
view full answer... - Comparing Amount of Drop of Torflec Axle with a Drop AxleThe 10 degree up Torflex axle will have the center of the spindle sitting about 0.31" below the bottom of the frame of your trailer under no load. When it is under a full load it will sit about 1.45" above the bottom of the frame of your trailer. If you are wanting a Torflex axle that sits lower then you need the 22.5 degree which has the center of the spindle sitting about 0.52" above the bottom of your frame under no load. Under a full load that will sit about 1.82" above the bottom...
view full answer... - Should I Replace The Spindle Or The Axle On My 2009 Fleetwood Pioneer 23FQ Travel TrailerYes, this could happen with a bent spindle. I recommend replacing the entire axle and not just a spindle. Just replacing the spindle can be problematic because the new spindle will need to be welded EXACTLY straight. The spindle needs to be centered and concentric. It will require a highly trained welder who has the correct jigs and afterward your spindles will have different lifespans. You can find out what axles you have on your 2009 Fleetwood Pioneer 23FQ by checking your owner's manual...
view full answer... - Replacement 5,200 Pound Axle for Forest River Enclosed TrailerFor a 95" 5,200 lb replacement axle you can use the # e63GR. None of our axles match that spring seat measurement so you will need to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your current measurement. If you meant a 4" drop spindle when you said "with 4," the only replacement option for the same length axle would be a 3,500 lb axle like the # 7685269. This would again need new spring seats # TRSS238. If you're set on 5,200 lbs and need the 4" drop you could use the Timbren...
view full answer... - Can Leaf Springs be Moved to Top of Underslung AxleYou can absolutely use the underslung Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7685269 with leaf springs mounted to the top of the axle. In order to do this you will simply need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 which will work so long as you are using double-eye springs, and fit the 2-3/8" Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 7685269. The Over/Under kit will lift it approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus...

- Replacement for Lippert 3500 Lb AxleYou have a Lippert 3500 lb axle with 10 inch brake assemblies/hub drums. We can't order custom axles, but we do offer a Dexter # 7359765-EB off-the-shelf axle that's very similar, the only difference is that the leaf spring seat center to center distances don't match exactly. This isn't necessarily a big deal, as it's pretty simple to use two replacement spring seats # TRSS238 and to have them tack welded on a 75 inch center. If the existing 80 inch spring seats interfere with the installation,...
view full answer... - Identifying Dexter Axle Marked P-11 With 70 Inch Spring Center MeasurementThe P-11 on your Dexter axle indicates the plant number it was manufactured at. If you can find a serial number on your axle tag that could be used to identify the axle through Dexter. If not then there are other ways to find a replacement axle. If you have the capacity of the axle listed on the axle tag that is a good place to start. If not, you could use the diameter of your axle to determine the capacity. See the list below. Once you have the capacity you will also need to know the...

- Will Axle Flex Under Load The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7685269 does have a 3,500 lb capacity so I assume you just replaced one of the axles on a tandem-axle trailer because otherwise the axle would be far overloaded. Assuming that's true, there is going to be some flex in an axle when it is under a load; if you have a pair of 3,500 lb axles and are hauling something in the neighborhood of the capacity, it will flex even more. Since you said "slightly negative...
view full answer... - Replacement for a Marine Master Boat Trailer AxleIn order to determine whether or not the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop part # 7685269 will be a good replacement for your Marine Master Boat Trailer Axle we would need to know the distance between the hub faces and spring centers on the axle you have now. It would also be helpful to know your axles weight capacity. The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop has a 3,500 lb capacity, 95" hub face to hub face, and a 80" spring center to spring center measurement. If this is what...

- Will My Brakes Fit the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop Part # 7685269The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop part # 7685269 has four bolt brake mounting flanges already welded on. Therefore, if the brakes you have now have this same four bolt brake mounting flange then they will transfer over. The four bolt brake mounting flange is common on 10" x 2-1/4" braking assemblies like part # AKEBRK-35-SA which are commonly found on 3,500 lb axles. If you have a 3,500 lb axle now then they will most likely work for you but you can check by counting the brake mounting...
view full answer... - Should The Drop Spindle On a Leaf Sprung Trailer Axle Be Angled Toward The Rear Of a Trailer? On a axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop # 7685269 the spindle should be straight up and down off the leaf spring. If your leaf springs are at any kind of angle this would cause the axle to then be angled off the trailers frame. Also if the Spring Seat # TRSS238 was changed and not welded on properly with the axle at the correct angle this would cause the spindle to not be straight up and down.
view full answer... - Is 76" Spring-Center Measurement Abnormal for 95" Wide Trailer AxleThat does make sense. We don't have an exact replacement for your application but if you check out the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 7685269 you can see that it has 95" hub-face and 80" spring-center measurements. Since the hub-face and spring-center measurements can vary from trailer to trailer and yours are fairly close to one that we carry (we only carry a few of the very popular options) I wouldn't say that's abnormal. Even though the spring-center of this...

- Option For Drop Axle That Measures 95 Inches Hub Face to Hub FaceWe do have drop axles that measure 95 inches from hub face to hub face, though the spring centers are going to be a bit longer. What you can do though is simply weld on new spring centers at the exact spacing you need. You didn't mention the weight capacity of the axles you wanted, but there are options for a 3,500 lb and 7,000 lb axle: - 3,500 lbs: Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 7685269 - Spring Seat for Typical 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 2-3/8" Diameter...
view full answer... - Is the Castle Nut and Lock Washer Included with the Dexter Axle Part # 7685269Yes, the castle nut and lock washer for the spindle will be included with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # 7685269. The spring seats and brake flanges are already welded on so you do not have to worry about that. Assuming you have the standard 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, you can use part # 84545UC1-EZ for idler hubs or part # 23-468-469 and part # 84546UC3-EZ if you have electric brakes.

If you take a look at the photo I have attached for you that should then help with obtaining the above two measurements. The most important thing we need to look for is the hub face as the spring center can then be moved (within a range) if we need to. I have attached a list of the 3,500 lb axles we offer in the varying hub face and spring center...

- Does Drop Spindle Add Clearance?You are correct, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 7685269 does lower the trailer. The clearance is the clearance of the spindle from the axle, as you can see in the accompanying photo.

- How To Lower a Trailer 3 InchesI am not really sure what the dealership was referring to as a 22 axle but we do have options for you to lower your trailer. The first option if you have a leaf spring axle is an over/under kit like the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit part # K71-384-00 or part # K71-385-00 but this would only work if your leaf springs are over the axle, not under. If your leaf springs are already under the axle then the next best option would be to replace the axle with one that has a drop...

- What Info is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle for TrailerWhen picking out a trailer axle you need to make sure you get a few things matched up. The capacity like you have already, the the length from hub face to hub face, and the distance between spring seats. The Dexter hub part # 7685269 that you referenced is a 3,500 lb axle that has a hub face to hub face dimension of 95 inches, has 80 inches between spring seats an also has a 4 inch drop. If that all matches what you have this would work well. If you need something else let me know.

So for the axle, without any hubs or brakes, you can use either of the following, along with the spring seats: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7685269 - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7359765 - Spring...
