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. This axle is also built with drop spindles, which will lower the ride height of your trailer to allow for easier 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.

I called to confirm fitment and availability. I then place the order on line on Wednesday and the axle showed up Friday evening. You can not beet that! Local suppliers where about $75.00 more and I had to go pick it up an hour each way!
by: Ed06/26/2020
I received the items in a very timely fashion and in great shape. I torched off the old U bolts and removed the axle. I removed the new spring seats using a cut off wheel in my grinder and moved them inward one inch on each side, then MIG weld the new ones on they lined up perfectly to the old ones. I then installed the new U bolt kit and torqued them down to 65 foot lbs. The old bearings were only one year old and reused them after cleaning. I installed new seals at this time. The brake pads were same age as bearings showing little wear. The old axles were not Dexter axles and rusted from the inside out then broke off by the drop.. I replaced both. Was a pleasant experience and would do it all over again.
by: Colin06/14/2022
Had to cut off the mounts and re-weld since it didn't fit my trailer perfectly. However it was the best option for me and the product was just as described.

I build custom trailers. I have been doing so for 50+ years. etrailer has consistently been the second cheapest supplier of axles, springs, hangers, hubs, and etc. that we have been able to locate. When you see the difference in quality that etrailer has you'll be buying the second cheapest too! These guys only offer one kind of quality - the EXCELLENT kind. Of the 8 or so trailers that I have in the road 24/7; 100% of them were made from etrailer components! Highly recommended!

- Replacement Axle Option for 92-1/2" Hub Face to Hub Face and 70" From Spring Center to Spring CenterI'm not seeing any axles that match those specs; they're all just a bit too long. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 8327812 is 89" hub face to hub face and has 74" spring center to spring center. The closest axle in terms of spring centers is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 86-1/2" - 6K # 8327826-EB and has 71" spring center to spring center. Using either of these axles would...

I've linked the page to all of the axle options we carry with some being axle-less replacing the springs and the spindles for a universal fit.

We offer Dexter axles with an 86-1/2 inch hub face to hub face dimension and 71-1/2 center to center spring seat spacing that could work for you, but you'd need to remove the existing spring seats and tack new ones in place using part # TRSS300 at a 70 inch center. If an 86-1/2 inch hub face would work for you, we offer the following: •...

In order to choose the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the capacity you need as well as the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center. Here are all the options we carry for a drop axle: - 3,500 lbs: Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long # 8327812 -...
view full answer... - Is the Weight of the Wheels and Tires Part of the Capacity of the Dexter Axle Beam with 4" Drop The axle capacity of something like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 8327812 refers to the amount of weight that it can carry; the weight of the tires, wheel, etc. are not part of the load and actually also carry weight, so they're not considered in the equation when it comes to the axle. This axle is 89" from hub face to hub face and 74" between the centers of the spring seats, which would be the important measurements to match up with...
view full answer... - Replacement 3,500lb Dexter Axle For Diamond C 3RBT Utility TrailerBased on the information you gave me, the closest axle we have is the 3,500lb EZ-Lube Dexter axles which measure 74" from spring center to spring center and 89" from hub face to hub face. While you were looking for 88" hub face to face, this 89" shouldn't cause any issue and is likely the correct size axle that you were needing since 89" is extremely common. Either way, the 1" difference will not be a problem. For a complete axle and electric brake setup with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you...
view full answer... - Recommendation to Replace Trailer Axle with 70" Spring Center and 85-1/2" Hub Face Length I do have a potential option for your trailer, however we do not have any standard axles that match the spring center and hub face lengths on your existing unit. If you don't want to go through a local trailer shop or fabricator to obtain a matching thru axle, I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Axle-Less System instead. These use independent suspension components that will install on any frame width and usually eliminate the need for a thru-axle altogether. Because the progressive-rate...
view full answer... - Can the Spring Seats Be Moved on the Dexter 3,500 LB Drop AxleThe Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles part # 8327812 measures 89" long between each hub face and 74" long between each spring center. It is not offered with 89" between each hub face and 70-1/2" long between each spring center because the spring seats can be moved. The spring seats for this axle can be moved to a minimum of 75" apart and a maximum of 71" apart. Since you only need to go in 1/4" more on either side I would say you are fine to move the spring seats on...

- What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axles for TrailerI don't have a way to look up your axle based on the number you gave me but I can help you pick out the correct replacement axle based on a few measurements. First thing you need is the axle capacity. That would be listed on the axle on a plate/sticker or you can measure the diameter of the axle to get this as well. Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles:...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement 5,200 lb Axle with 89 Inch LengthTraditionally it is not a 5,000 lb axle but rather a 5,200 lb axle. There are two 89 inch hub face to hub face options we carry, they both have 74 inch spring seat centers, but one comes with the electric brakes and hubs and the other is just the axle. If you will use electric brakes, I recommend going with the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" - 5,200 lb # 8327820-EB. If you will use hydraulic brakes then I recommend instead using the...
view full answer... - What is Height Difference Between 10 Degree Down and 45 Degree Down Torsion AxleWhile we don't carry torsion axles we do know that when you go from a 10 degree down torsion axle to a 45 degree down torsion axle you do gain height. The height difference is right at 2 inches with no load. I attached a link to all of our axles as well.
view full answer... - How To Choose Correct 3,500 Lb Axle for Slipper Spring SetupIn order to determine which axle is correct for your trailer we need to find out what your hub face (HF) and spring center (SC) measurements are. 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...

- Can Trailer Brakes be Added to Dexter 3,500 lb Axle with 4 inch DropYes you can add brakes to trailer axles that have a drop built into them like the Dexter # 8327812 which has a 4 inch drop as the axle has mounting flanges for brake assemblies built in to it. You'd want the Dexter brake assembly set part # 23-468-469 which is a set that includes a left and a right assembly that is self adjusting. For a hub/drum that fits both the axle and assemblies you'd want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which has the standard 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

There is a work around to this but I will need to know what size axle you are needing for your trailer, as I am unable to determine the correct axle based on just the trailer model. You will need to measure your axle from hub face to hub face, spring center to spring center, and determine the axle rating of the axle. To find the axle rating you will need to look on the axle...

This will lower the trailer by the diameter of the axle as well as the height of the leaf spring stack. If you need to further lower the trailer, then shorter spring hangers are needed. I recommend the CE Smith Front/Rear Hanger Bracket for Double-Eye...

This axle has the same hub face length of 89" and drop of 4" that you were looking for. The spring center is set at 74" yes but you can move these inward to match your 70" spring center no problem. In regards to shape, square vs round this will also not be an issue. The u-bolts would be different yes but you would need to replace these when removed from the...

This axle could work for you if moving the tires two inches outboard and needing to remove the existing spring seats and installing # TRSS238 replacements at the proper 70 inch width would work for you.

This axle has a 89" hub face to hub face measurement with a 4" drop spindle and underslung design. The axle is rated for 3,500lbs and the spring seats on the axle measure 74". You can weld on some new Spring Seats # TRSS238 to the 70" measurement that you are needing. I do recommend new U-Bolts # APUBR-1 as your current bolts will likely have corrosion. Two...
view full answer... - Is the Dexter Drop Tube Trailer Axle Beam Offered with 64 Inch Hub Face and 3,500 Lb Capacity The best option I have for you is the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # A35RD545 which has a built-in drop of 4" and comes with idler hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. In regards to hub face, this can be adjusted to fit any width. The hub face measurement you are looking for of 64" is very uncommon for this axle capacity so we would not have a Dexter Trailer Axle Beam that matches this.

To replace the bearings on your 99 Dexter axle serial number D3651821 you will need the Replacement Trailer Hub Bearing - L44649 item # L44649. Your axle uses the same inner and outer bearings. I wasn't able to get any other information from Dexter about your axle. If you would like to email me directly or comment below your axle's hub face and spring seat measurements I would be happy to see if we have a replacement. I have linked a diagram below to show...
