Can Hub for 3,500 lb Axles be Used on Axles With Different Weight Rating  

Question:

Hi. My enclosed trailer has a 2990 lb axle. I want to replace the hubs and you guys have exactly what I need as far as bearing size, etc. AKIHUB-545-35-PG-K but the weight rating is 3500 lb. Can I use the 3500 lb hubs on my 2990 axle?

Expert Reply:

That is a good question but the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # AKIHUB-545-35-K can absolutely be used on your axle rated for less than 3,000 lbs.

What matters is that you have the same # L68149 inner bearing, # L44649 outer bearing and # 58846 grease seal because this means the hub will fit your spindle. These are most often found on 3,500 lb axles but can be used on an axle with less capacity with no issues.
