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.

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!

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: 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.

I inherited an aluminum trailer that ended up needing a complete overhaul and etrailer was the best resource I could have found. After researching extensively to find out what I needed and watching their videos on how to do it I ended up ordering an EZ-lube axle, galvanized hubs, springs and a hanger kit (in other words everything from the frame down).
Everything shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. All the parts worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier!
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.

Check your order! I specifically ordered Dexter axles and they sent me generic ones.
by: Louis04/19/2024
I'd like to thank odella and Kate for taking such good care of my order.
I first talked to Odella and had to break off the conversation for something else called back and Kate took my call and was able to fulfill the order and take all my information very nice dealing with the company that has their people in the United States and you're not talking to a computer!
Also was really shocked I received the order 2 days early really good work!

After a rust related axle failure, my equipment trailer was down. (If you roll in the rust belt, check your axles near where the brake wire goes through)
After checking my local source, I was told there was a long lead time for new axles due to the pandemic.
I was so happy to find etrailer. They had the exact axles I needed. After I pulled the axles I realized I also needed hardware and u-bolts.
Everything arrived ahead of schedule, allowing me to get back up and running quickly.
Thank you etrailer. You are a valuable resource.

Perfect fit, nice axle and fast delivery. I liked it so much I ordered another a day later to replace the front axle. My 30 yr old tandem trailer's axle broke at the wheel, so I went to a local store which doesn't stock them anymore. Could of ordered a so so axle for $94 + $28 shipping and wait 2 weeks but needed it fast. I went to a major trailer sales & service shop and told "maybe we could get one for $250" with no call back. I decided to check out etrailer and was surprised to see Dexter axles that fit my trailer for $140 with FREE shipping in 3-4 days! Ordered Sat. night, got it Wednesday afternoon, and installed it (with brakes) in an hour. Only problem I had was determining if spindles would fit my hubs. They stated "1/16th spindle" and must be industry talk but french to me. So I had to look up bearing #'s they listed to check bearing sizes to make sure they fit my hubs. A little more time but not a deal breaker. The best part was the huge difference in ride with just one new axle. Always had bouncing loaded or not, but now with just one axle the ride is smoother no load and with my 4000 lb tractor on it. Can't wait to get the 2nd axle on that arrived today. First two pics show the difference between the old straight axle and the new dexter axle. The third is a pic of my 2nd axle, oh well. Etrailer is my new go to place for trailer parts. I have 7 trailers.

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: Peter 02/17/2024
Part was a great fit & delivery was on time and properly packaged.
Definitely recommend & I will use this company if future trailer parts are needed.
by: James10/12/2023
I was pressed for time to deliver a car and this axle was advertised to be delivered on Tuesday. Then, tracking changed delivery to Wednesday. Still, it was timely enough, barely. The axle looked perfect except, there weren’t any spring perches! The axle was ordered with perches. I spoke with a delightful young lady, if that is not woke I don’t care. She remedied the situation, HOPEFULLY.
by: Roy08/20/2023
The axles were missing studs that fell out during shipping. Also, no nuts were included for mounting the brakes.
by: John 03/20/2024
Wry nic product, only one suggestion is that you can tell what size bearings go on this axle.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- How Can I Increase My Enclosed Trailer Maximum Payload Weight Capacity?When it comes to an axle weight rating of 3,500 pounds, the gross weight of the vehicle cannot exceed that weight rating by any circumstances. The only way to increase the payload weight is by installing new axles. Although, you must also consider the weight capacity of the frame and floor construction when making this decision. For that reason, I strongly recommend reaching out to your trailer manufacturer to make that determination. If you can confirm that you can increase the axle...

- What Type of Trailer Axle is a 8974 and How to Pick Out ReplacementThe numbers you mentioned from your axle indicate it's an 89 inch long axle with 74 inches between springs seats measured on center. Luckily that's a very common size that we have options for. I attached a link to them on this page for you to check out. You'll want to know the capacity you need as well. For example, the part # 8327820 is a 5,200 straight axle with straight spindles.
view full answer... - Could Dexter 5,200 lb Trailer Axle 8327820 Fit 1997 Jayco TrailerThere is a chance the Dexter trailer axle part # 8327820 will work with the other Dexter 5200 lb trailer axle on 1997 Jayco but not all 5.2k Dexter axles are made to the same length. This axle is 89 inches from hub face to hub face and also has 74 inches between the spring seat centers. If you can measure you current axle and verify that it is same as what you have now this axle will work great for you. If you have a different set of dimensions let me know and I'll see what you may need.

Therefore, the only option we can offer you is a replacement axle. If this is something that you would be interested in then the first thing we need to do is measure the axle you have now. The first measurement you will need to take is from the end of each hub face and then from the center of each spring seat. Once the length measurements are acquired we can then measure the...

- Replacement Trailer Axle for Lippert Axle V000416795 The Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327820-EB will work for you but you should note that it is one inch shorter from hub face to hub face so as long as you have at least 1-12 inches from your inner sidewall to the frame of your trailer this wouldn't be an issue at all. Most likely you are totally fine though.
view full answer... - Availability of 5,200 lb Trailer Axle with 74 inches Between Spring SeatsTo pick out replacement axles you need a few pieces of info. You need the capacity like you mentioned, you need the hub face to hub face dimension and you need the spring seat to spring seat dimension as well. With that info you can determine what you'd need. For example, if the 74 inch dimension you listed was from the spring seat to seat dimension and you needed 89 inches from hub face to hub face you'd want the # 8327820-EB which comes with hub/drums and brake assemblies.
view full answer... - Why Aren't Trailer Axles Made Totally Flat without a Bow in ThemThey put a slight bow into trailer axles so that when they have weight on them the camber angle for the wheels/tires isn't bad. Basically the axle slightly flattens out with weight so that you get the correct camper angle. Your choice would be to order an axle in the over/under configuration you need or installing an over/under kit if needed. If the brake shoes are upside down they'll still work fine but if you have a left side assembly on the right side of a trailer or vice versa you'd...

The best option would be to replace your current axle with one that uses standard brakes to allow you to find replacement brakes now and in the future. Since we do not have any 4400lb axles, I recommend using 5200lb axles as a replacement. We offer the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2...

- What Brand Hubs, Bearings and Brakes are On Dexter Axle 8327820-EBHey Todd, so the Dexter trailer axle part # 8327820-EB that you referenced has Dexter hub/drums, brake assemblies, and TruRyde bearings.
view full answer... - Could Spring Seat of Dexter Axle be Moved to Fit New ApplicationThe Dexter axle part # 8327820 could only fit your trailer if you installed new spring seats on it since it has spring seat centers at 74 inches and your trailer has them at 71.5. For new spring seats you'd want the # TRSS300 welded at the correct distance. Aside from that the overall length and capacity would be fine for your trailer.

- Determining Correct Axle To Upgrade Single 3500lb Axle Boat Trailer To 5200lb AxleSince you have a single axle that is rated to 3500lbs, and the combined tire rating is also 3500lbs, I do not recommend using the trailer as it is with the weight of the trailer and boat being 4400lbs. Before making any changes I recommend verifying the maximum weight capacity of the trailer with the manufacturer, as just changing the axles and suspension may still not give you the weight capacity you need. If your trailer does have a high enough weight capacity for the weight you mentioned,...
view full answer... - AL/KO 5200 lb Axle ReplacementWe offer some Dexter axles that might be a good replacement. You'll need to measure the hub face to hub face and spring seat to spring seat dimension of your current axle to see if what we offer is compatible. I've provided a diagram showing how to take that measurement. All the axles I'm showing you use spindles compatible with 25580 inner/LM67048 outer wheel bearings. For a 95 inch hub face and 80 inch spring center, use # 6340624-EB which includes hub/drums with 6 lug on a 5-1/2 inch...

- 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...

My suggestion is to remove and replace the entire axel assembly. I suggest trying to first identify the current axel weight rating and manufacturer by looking for markings on the axel itself. We can help with hydraulic drum brakes such as the Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit - Left/Right Hand, 3,500 lbs., # AKFBBRK-35 and complete axle kits with electric brakes,...

- Recommended Axle To Replace Older AL-KO 4400lb Axle # 402268I have a replacement axle option for you, but based on the information I was able to find on your AL-KO 4400lb Axle # 402268 it uses an older style of braking assembly that was discontinued when AL-KO was bought out by Dexter. If the brakes on your trailer are unusable the only option is going to be to go ahead and replace the axle to one that uses modern braking assemblies. Since we do not have any 4400lb axles, I recommend using 5200lb axles as a replacement. We offer the Dexter Trailer...

- Correct Kodiak Disc Brakes For 5,200 lb Dexter Trailer Axle BeamThanks for reaching out! The Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD69FR you were looking at will definitely work with the 89" Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327820 for your trailer. The outer bearing part number is different but the inner dimensions are the same so these brakes will still fit just fine! Attached are some review videos for you to check out.

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.

This is a 3,500 lb trailer axle. For a higher rated option we have the part # 8327820 which is a 5,200 lb trailer axle.
