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.
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.
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.)
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.)
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"

The axle shipped an hour after I ordered it and showed up two days later. All measurements were spot on and I had no issues installing it. As long as I don’t have any tire wear or hub issues in the future it has five stars, else I’ll change my review.

Product arrived on time and was exactly what I needed. It was shipped in 2 different shipments, so I was not quit sure when the other parts were to arrive. They came 1 day apart, not a bid deal.
Thank you

- Can etrailer Trailer Axle be Used on Boat TrailerYes, our trailer axles like the etrailer part # e65GR can work on a boat trailer and would work great.
view full answer... - Is Downward Bend in Trailer Axle SafeStandard axles, like the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR, have a slight bend upward so that when you have the trailer loaded the axle is straight. If the axle becoming straight is the slight bend you're talking about then this is completely normal. If the axle is actually bending downward then it was either installed upside down or it has been compromised and is not okay to use. If you can let me know the hub-face and spring center measurements for your axle I can see if we have a...

- What Information Is Needed To Find Replacement Axle For 2007-09 Rockwood Signature Ultralite 8240 SSI'd be happy to help find a replacement axle for your 2007-09 Rockwood Signature Ultralight Model 8240, but I have no way to look up what axle was used. Manufacturers use whatever axle they have on hand that day, so there's really no reliable database for this information. You'll need to check the axle beam for an axle tag, and sending me a picture of that would be the easiest way for me to find you an exact replacement. If the tag is missing which is very possible due to the age of your...

- Does etrailer Still Sell Trailer AxlesHey Jason, thanks for reaching out! We definitely do still carry trailer axles! I'm linking our selection for you to filter through but if you can give me some details about what you're needing (weight rating, hub-face, and spring-center measurements) I'd be more than happy to help you narrow down what you're looking for to get your trailer up and running!

- Can 4 inch Drop Axle be Replaced with Straight AxleIf you happened to have enough ground clearance you could go with a straight axle but you would be losing about 4 inches of clearance between the tires. I attached a link to both styles of 3,500 lb axles we carry as well.
view full answer... - What Replacement Axle will Work on My Axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 Lug Pattern?I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, given the age and the fact that the bearings do not link to a specific axle, I recommend an entirely new axle for your ~1964 Ford Fairline trailer. For example, I recommend the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e65GR. This axle has a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern as well. I went ahead and linked all of our axles that have 5 on 4-1/2 lug patters for you to browse. In order to find a compatible axle, you will...
view full answer... - Can etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs Be Used On Boat TrailerYes, the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR can be submerged and used on a boat trailer. If this is a replacement axle, make sure your current axle has a 3,500 lb capacity and 89" hub face measurement. You want the capacity and length to match what you have.
view full answer... - How to Determine Replacement Axle Fixing Up Older TrailerHi there Jason; thanks for that info and you did all the right measurements but unfortunately there is no hub that fits a spindle with those dimensions. This happens quite a bit on some of these older trailers so the best I can offer is replacing your axle with one that has a standard spindle and hubs. This will also make it easier to get replacement bearings and hubs in the future. I know it's not the answer you were looking for, but if you want to do this it's pretty easy to determine...

I know that stinks to hear, but there's unfortunately just no way around it. In order to choose the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; I have added a link below to a video which shows you how to measure. The other thing you need to know is the weight capacity...

On e of the numbers should say what the empty weight is of the trailer, one should say what the load capacity is, and one should have the "GVWR" which is how much the weight of the trailer and its cargo can be at max. Some people will look at the sticker on the middle of the axle which is a good way to estimate the load rating if your trailer doesn't have that sticker on the tongue for whatever...

If you can measure the hub-face and spring-center measurements of your current axle that will help me know what you're needing. For example, the etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR has a hub-face measurement of 89" and a spring-center measurement of 74" (see attached).

- Wider Axle Options For a Harbor Freight 4 x 8 Folding Trailer Which Allow For Larger Wheels & TiresOur narrowest 3,500lb axle is going to be the Axle # e65GR which is 89" from hub face to hub face. To mount this and widen your trailer you will need to modify the trailer which will entail new frame and suspension components. We do have a 72" wide 2,000lb Axle # e37YR which still exceeds the weight rating on your Harbor Freight trailer. This will still likely require some modification as it is about a foot wider than your stock axle. Both axles come with 5 on 4-1/2" idler hubs and will...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub Needed for Older Trailer Axle with M12649 and LM48548 BearingsWhile we do carry a replacement for your LM48548 bearing, listed as part # LM48548 on our site, none of our hubs use this bearing and from what I'm seeing your bearing combination is for very old trailer axles. I recommend swapping out your axle to something more current that you'll be able to easily find service parts for, like bearings. To choose the correct replacement axle we'll need to find out the weight rating of your current axle as well as the spring-center and hub-face dimensions. For...
view full answer... - Solution for Replacement Hubs on 1970's Homemade TrailerStarting with the first question, with or without that variance there are no hubs that use that bearing combination. It is likely an obsolete axle/hub based on the bearings and age of the trailer. This means the only solution would be to replace the axle that uses a modern bearing combination which will allow you to replace the hubs as well. To find the right replacement axle you will need the axle capacity as well as the length. I would check the axle tag to see if the capacity is listed....
view full answer... - How to Change Spring Center on e65GR Trailer AxleIn order to change the spring center on the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR you will need to cut off the existing spring seats. Once they have been removed, you will need to have # TRSS238 welded on to match your 72" measurement. If you have some kind of adjustable bracket I do not recommend using it. There should be no way for the leaf springs to move horizontally along the axle aside from moving the spring seat.
view full answer... - Replacement Axle for E12RB Econ TrailerFrom what I was able to find about your E12RB Econ trailer it looks like you have a 3,500 lb axle. You will need to verify the capacity. In order to choose the correct replacement, you will need the capacity as well as the hub face to hub face measurement. See the attached picture that shows where to measure. If you find that your current axle measures 89" and has a 3,500 lb capacity you could use the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR you were looking at. If you can match up the spring...

- Can Square Axle be Replaced With Round Axle & How to Find Right AxleYou can replace your square axle with round axles, but you would need to replace both axles instead of just one to ensure you have the same length axles, which will ensure your suspension and tires wear evenly and avoid problems. In order to choose the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; I have added a link below to a video which walks you through how to measure....
view full answer... - Does Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs e65GR Come With U-BoltsThe Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR does not include U-bolts so you will need to purchase them separately. For a kit that will fit this axle and also comes with the U-bolt plates I recommend using the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles # CE23002.
view full answer... - Diameter of 3,500 lb Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs e65GRYes, the diameter is indeed 2-3/8 inches for the 3,500 lb axle you asked about, which is the following part number: - Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e65GR So they will work with U-bolts that fit 2-3/8" diameter axles like part # CE15286GA.
view full answer... - Replacement Hubs And Axles For A 2015 Keystone Hideout 27DBS Travel TrailerI can definitely help point you in the right direction. Axles and hubs are not custom fit, so we do not have a way to know axle/hub specs just by looking up a year, make and model. If only it were so easy right? That being said, the online owners manual for a 2015 Keystone Hideout 27DBS shows a GVWR of 7,865 lbs and a body width of 96". So it stands to reason that you likely have a pair of 3,500 lb axles underneath. Our 3.5K axles come in either a 89" long # e43SR, or a 95" long # 7359765-EB....
view full answer... - How to Choose the Correct Axle Capacity for TrailerThe axle capacity needs to be enough to handle the weight of the trailer plus whatever it is carrying. In other words, the axles need to meet or exceed the GVWR or gross vehicle weight rating. Assuming this is some kind of dump trailer with tandem axles I would say it weighs 2,000 lbs or more on its own. Add in the 9k lbs it can carry and you would be looking at 6k axles at a minimum, possibly 7k if the trailer is heavier. You will need to know the exact GVWR to select the right axle. For...

One is the compatible wheel size. The etrailer axle works with 13" - 15" wheels while the Dexter axle works with 13" - 17-1/2" wheels. The other is the warranty. The etrailer axle comes with a limited lifetime warranty and lifetime technical support from etrailer.com, while the Dexter has a 2-year warranty. Aside from this they are virtually identical. If you have wheels that are larger than 15" I would...
