Replacement Spindle Option for Mobile Home Axle
Question:
I am trying to convert my trailer w/ mobile home axles, read FAQ, etc. Looks like these spindles are 1.38 or so inner and 1.25 outer, with a 1.74 ish seal surface. Is there any conversion alternative or do I need to weld on new spindles? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The spindle dimensions you have do not match any of the standard trailer spindles that are available so we do not have any hubs that would fit them.
Honestly your best option is going to be to replace the axles. Installing new spindles is a professional only job as they install has to be very precise. But for a new spindle you could use the part # TRU74FR and then for a hub to fit it part # 84546UC3.
We have a few different axles available at the link I attached.
