Axle Dimensions

Hub Face and Spring Center Measurements on Standard Trailer Axle

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.


Note: Axle does not come fully assembled.


Pre-Greased Hubs

A trailer hub with the grease cap taken off shows greased bearings

The pre-greased hubs in this kit come with the bearings, races, and seals already installed, which makes for a faster install time and less mess to deal with. After you've put on the grease caps and lug nuts (included), you'll be ready to roll.


etrailer Axles

etrailer axles 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.


Thoroughly Tested for Safety

This hub-and-drum assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This assembly has also been tested by QAI Laboratories for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.


Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)


Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)


Bolt Pattern - Side

Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

etrailer is the best. I've been dealing with them for years. The orders are always right. The products are top-of-the-line.
Delivery was fast and free.. I have ordered online and I have called and spoken to the sales staff there who were very helpful and knowledgeable about their products. If you have trailers and you don't give a trailer look, you are missing out.



by:

The axle fit perfectly. No instructions but not the first axle I've changed. Backing plate assembly should be pack a little better to keep them from being knocked around. Stellar service, fast shipping. Thanks



by:

looks like exactly what I needed, It is always challenging to find trailer parts, so many different types and sizes, the web listings and videos made it very simple, the items arrived very quickly. everything fits properly.

Very Happy!!



by:

Was sent an 83 inch axle.

Everything was as described. Good products and fast shipping

Good quality, quick delivery, everything fit as expected. Thank you again, etrailer!

I just received the package today and it looks like it is going to make this into a great trailer.

I ordered two axles to upgrade my trailer capacity to what the frame is rated for, 12,000lbs. The axles have great bearing seats and backing plate studs. The backing plates are fully assembled and ready to connect to the wires already installed into the axle tubes. The hub assembly went smooth and only one set of break shoes needed adjustment. A good buy along with the 5 fully assembled tires and wheels.



by:

I used these axles to upgrade my travel trailer suspension.they Seem to be a good quality item. Good paint job on the axles. Compared to axles that came with the travel trailer. Which helps living on the coast.



by:

Exactly what I ordered packaged nice and pregreased bearings.



by:

Great value. I upgraded a 3500lb trailer and with the added brake it really helps. I use it to haul tools around so it handles the weight much better. Towing is a breeze now. Installation was easy as well. I will be buying more axles and parts in the future.



by:

Aside from not received complete order the first time, I will still recommend etrailer for all your needs



by:

Everything was going great on my new axle install today, until it wasn't. You shiped me the wrong lock washers for the brake backing plate. The correct nuts but the washers are to small. I'll have to pick them up because the customer is expecting the with to be done be today.



by:

I was worried about ordering trailer parts from a new company online. Product showed up fast and on time. Beat most other product pricing. A courtesy email was sent when product was delivered, making sure I was satisfied, giving me a direct contact incase I had any issues.
I haven't used the product yet but everything looks good.
Will order trailer product again in the future.



by:

Best thing I did was change axles to these. Went from 3500lb to these 7000lb with brakes on both. Tows and stops incredible.



by:

I wish I could give negative stars. My order arrived on time, but it was the wrong axle. The axle I ordered and paid for was a 3500 lb drop axle with electric brakes, they sent a bare 3500 lb drop axle. $[XX] difference. I immediately contacted customer service who required pictures of what I received. When I supplied them, they did not respond and even removed my order from their website so I can't track it to see if they're trying to make this right. They won't answer emails either because Ive sent a few. I'll try to get my credit card to refund me since they won't respond.



by:

The axle seems good. Nice that the ball bearings were grease. We will see over the miles if all goes well. The delivery, besides the break assembly was quick. Not sure why the break assembly was not shipped with the rest.



by:

Piece of cake to install. Pull out the old snapped axle install new axle. Bearings come pregreased.



by:

I am missing the axle tubes for the 2 axles. I called and spoke to Paula on Saturday about this issue. I expect that UPS left it at their facility Thanks.

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Trailer Axle for 1993 Innsbruck by Gulfstream
    To choose the correct replacement axle you can measure the one currently on your trailer from hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center. The kit # e43SR has a hub face measurement of 89 inches and a spring center measurement of 74 inches. It's also a 3,500 pound axle which you'll want to verify on yours as well.

  • How Are Self Adjusting Trailer Brakes Activated
    Self adjusting brakes will adjust themselves when the trailer is moving forward and the brakes are applied if the brakes are too loose. Basically if the arm with the magnet moves beyond a certain amount it pulls a cable that clicks the adjuster of the brake assembly tighter by one click every time until the magnet stops moving too far.

  • Axle for Small Camper Trailer With Electric Brakes and 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Hubs
    In order to choose the correct size axle you need to factor in several things. The width of the frame needs to the same as the spring centers of the axle and there needs to be enough clearance between the spring centers and the hubs to allow room for the wheels and tires, plus some clearance to avoid the tires making contact with the trailer. So you have a 72 inch wide trailer with tires that are approximately 10-1/2 inches wide. Only half of each tire width needs to be factored in because...

  • Why Is It a Good Idea to Have Trailer Axle Label Face Rear of Trailer
    Trailer axles like the Trailer Axle # e43SR you referenced aren't necessarily directional, but since the label on the axle has a lot of really important info it's best to have it on the backside of the axle so that debris on the highway would be less likely to damage it and make it unreadable.

  • How to Measure to Calculate Placement of Torsion Axle
    I understand how it would be unclear which measurement to use since the center of the axle is not the same as the center of the wheel on a torsion axle. For a single axle trailer, measure from the center of the spindle (center of wheel) to the trailer tongue. The position of the wheel center relative to the center of gravity will determine the final axle loading as well as the hitch load. This applies for both leaf spring axles, like # e43SR as well as torsion axles, like yours.

  • Boat Tires are Wearing on the Inside
    When you are getting uneven wear on your tires and the part that is wearing more is on the inside then that hints towards the axle being overloaded. Axles have a natural arch in them that arches up so that when they are under a load they are horizontal and you get even wear on your tires. Overloading your axle would mean that it is arching towards the ground some and would cause that inside wear. I recommend checking the weight capacity of your axle (can be found stamped in the middle...

    There are a variety of reasons why there might be a 3,500 pound axle on a trailer that is only rated for 2,990 pounds on the certificate of origin. I am not familiar with manufacturers under-rating the capacity in order to bypass certain braking laws, but it's possible that while the axle is rated for a certain capacity, some other component(s) on the trailer are rated for less, such as the suspension.
