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. 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.

THANKS ETRILER FOR TAKING CARE MY ONLINE ORDER THE DEXTER TRAILER AXLE WAS PERFECT FOR MY NEW INSTALLATION I DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE EXTRA LOAD ON MY BOAT TRAILER
by: Joseph 12/24/2023
Fit perfect. All parts from my old axle transferred without any problems. I welded the new saddles on the axle without any issues.
by: Mark 11/17/2023
Worked as planned = a good fit. My application required me to weld new mounts to the opposite side of the axle - my application was over sprung and had a 68.5" mounting measurement.
by: Bill 06/03/2023
The axel was received in excellent condition. After measuring twice I welded the spring pads on. It now sits in the rafters of garage. Dexter sent me a complete axel and spring assembly 2 days later that they said they would not. I now have a spare to take with me to Alaska next month.

This was part of an upgrade. The easy lube feature is worth its weight in gold.

Bought to replace a tube that was bent when I bought it. These are very nice axles, and the amenities of the ezlube setup is awesome. Definitely better than other axles I’ve had in the past

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: Timothy 05/23/2024
Easy ordering, quick shipping and prompt notification of each step of the process. The axle was exactly as advertised and fit my trailer perfectly. I am so glad I found etrailer, and will definitely recommend to my friends.
by: Douglas03/30/2024
I replaced the noodley Lippert axles that bent on my utility trailer. Much better. They also have the proper bend in them for the load compensation. I took the part number off the Lippert axle, and etrailer was able to cross reference the part numbers for perfect fit.
by: John04/26/2024
You were great to the way you help me resolve my problems. The axle is the correct one I needed. Just one small thing I found that it was missing two mounting studs.
by: Alfredo03/02/2024
Check your order! I specifically ordered Dexter axles and they sent me generic ones.
by: Kenneth11/04/2017
Axle arrived in perfect condition, was also an exact fit for my Top Hat Trailer.
Your staff was of great help finding my right axle.
I would recommend etrailer to everyone.
by: George M.09/08/2019
etrailer had the best prices and excellent customer service, Thanks Ian! Shipping was fast and free to boot. I bent the front axle on my in-laws fifth wheel camper and this axle fit the bill. I had to order a set of spring seats and weld them to the opposite sides. The original seats were at 68.5 " centers and that configuration was unavailable anywhere.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- Availability of 5,200 Pound Axle with 8 on 6-1/2 Inch Hubs and Electric BrakesWe do have a nice selection of 5,200 pound axles available that include electric brakes, however the hubs that are included all have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. I have attached a link that will take you directly to this selection that you can look through if needed. We also have a couple 5,200 pound Dexter axles that do not include hubs so you can add those with a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern like what you are needing. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles...
view full answer... - Continuous Trailer Bearing Failures On Single WheelI am sorry to hear about all the issues you are having with your trailer. Based on what you described, I would lean towards an issue with the spindle rather than the weight capacity of the hubs. The reason being that if your hubs were truly underrated, you would most likely have issues with all of them not just the same spindle. The damage to your spindle is likely not noticeable however, it only takes a small degree off center to cause problems. If the angle at which the spindle lies in...

Keep in mind that replacing your axles will not increase the GVWR of your trailer. You will still be limited to the lowest rated component which will be your trailer's frame. Lets start with some new axles, you will need to measure your current axles from hub face to hub face and from spring center to spring center to determine the correct length of your new axle....

- Will Bent Boat Trailer Frame With New Spindle Have Tire Wear?Since you replaced the spindle, if the spindle is aligned properly with the axle, then the axle will be straight under the weight capacity of the axle. If you straighten the tongue and the other part of the bent frame is behind the rear most spring hanger, you should be able to drive straight and not impact the tracking or tire wear. If you don't get it straightened out correctly all the way to that rear spring hanger, then you could absolutely have a tire wear issue or tracking issue...

- Seal Size Recommendation for Dexter Axle # 8327816The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816 that you referenced takes the larger diameter 2.25 inch inner diameter grease seal part # RG06-070.

Realistically, to get the exact capacity you'll need to contact Dexter with the serial number. After that, to get the right 5,200 lb or 6,00 lb axle you'll need to you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center. For example, the...

I will start by saying that we do not carry a direct replacement for that axle, as we do not carry any square tube axles. The closest thing we have length-wise is the Dexter Trailer 5.2K Axle Beam # 8327816, which is 86-1/2" long, when measured from hub-face to hub-face. So this may be a bit too long to be a viable option. A better option is to go with an axle-less setup like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # TASR35HDS06. This system will...
view full answer... - Replacement Axle for 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2150RBGrand Design lists an 86-1/2" 3,500 lb axle for your Imagine 2150RB. The next size up would be a 5,200 lb axle like the # e45GR. This has the same 86-1/2" hub face measurement but the spring seat is different. You will need to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your current 68-1/2" measurement. The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5.2K to 7K, Round Trailer Axles # CE23003 will be required as well. For a hub and drum assembly you can use the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. These...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Axle 8327816 Use Hub with Outer Bearing LM67048 and 15123Yes, since the inner diameter of the two bearings you mentioned # LM67048 and # 15123 are both 1.25 inches you can use a hub that has either. Basically any 5,200 to 7,000 lb hub will fit as they are designed to fit the number 42 spindle dimensions this axle has.
view full answer... - Replacement Option for 5,200 lb Dexter Axle on 2016 Arctic Fox 25RWe don't have an exact match for all of your measurements but you can use the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816 as a replacement. This is 86-1/2" long so it will stick out 1/4" more on either side of your trailer, something you won't even notice. The spring center is also different but that is fairly common when replacing an axle. What you can do is cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your existing 67-1/24" measurement. Also, unless you're dead set on a Dexter axle...
view full answer... - Will 5,200 Lb Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles Work with 5 on 4-1/2" HubsI do have an option for you but you can't use the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles part # 8327816 with 5 on 4-1/2" hubs since this is a larger axle and it will require at a minimum a 6 on 5-1/2" hub. For this, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # K08-201-98 with Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459.

The wheels could still be used as long as the new hubs match the bolt pattern. Since the spring seat measurement is 71-1/2" you would also need to cut off the spring seats and put on # TRSS300 to match your 68-1/2" measurement. If you want to use your existing hubs and drums, I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension...

view full answer... - 86-1/2 Inch Long Axle Option For Grand Design TrailerHi there Andy; thanks for that info, and while we don't have 3,500 lb axles that are 86-1/2 inches long, we do have a 5,200 lb option with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816. The spring center you mention is an odd one, as the # 8327816 has 71-1/2" spring centers. What you can do if you like is have new spring seats welded on at the appropriate 68-1/2" distance. For that you'd need a pair of Spring Seat # TRSS300.
view full answer... - How to Mount an Underslung Axle Below the Leaf Springs I have a solution for you but all of our axles are underslung so you won't find one with the bracket on top. To install the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles item # 8327816 you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-385-00. This kit will allow you to install your axle below your leaf springs.

I have a solution for you but we do not have anything with a 68.5" spring centers. We do have a few axles that have a 86.5 inch hub face. The lightest capacity one is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs item # 8327816. The spring seats are farther out than you need them but you can always remove them and attach new ones. To do this you will need the Truryde Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb...
view full answer... - Could Tire Blow Out Cause Other Axle to Bend SpindleTire blow outs do not tend to bend or damage spindles but things can happen. I would recommend taking the trailer to an alignment shop who can do trailers and see what they think is going on. It could be damaged suspension components too so you might check there as well. To pick out a replacement axle you would need to know a few things but we don't what axle your trailer needs. You'd need to know the axle capacity, the distance from spring seat to spring seat on current axle as well as...

I do have options for you but rotating the axle to where the bend faces the other direction is not one of them. The bend in the axle will actually straighten out once a load is placed on the trailer and if this was reversed, the axle would lose capacity. Now from this point forward you have two options both of which entail replacing the axle. Since your current...

Starting with the axle you will need to measure your current axles from hub face to hub face and from spring center to spring center to determine the correct length the replacement axle would need to be.

They do use the same spindles so the bearings and grease seal will all match. You would simply need to weld spring seats onto the axle at the 68.5 inch on center locations using # TRSS300.

For a replacement Dexter axle we have the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 or the # 8327816-EB which already has the brakes and hub and drum assemblies installed...
