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!

Its has been year and I have had no issues at all with the replacement axle! The dexter axle it replaced was put into service in 1990. I believe this will last just as long!

I replaced the noodley Lippert axles that bent on my utility trailer. Much better. They also have the proper bend in them for the load compensation. I took the part number off the Lippert axle, and etrailer was able to cross reference the part numbers for perfect fit.
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.
by: Mike B.11/14/2016
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.
by: Alfredo03/02/2024
Check your order! I specifically ordered Dexter axles and they sent me generic ones.
Comments
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I see our customer service team has reached out to you and make sure we get the correct axle out to you. This one mustve been stored incorrectly in the warehouse by mistake and shipped out as the original part. We do carry Dexter axles and we will get you one sent.

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.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- Does Dexter 6,000 Pound Axle Come with Spring Seats Welded on Top of AxleWe do carry spring seats that can be welded on the top of the # 7461121 axle but it doesn't come that way. The spring seats are part # TRSS300.
view full answer... - Availability of Dexter Axle that has 6k Capacity and is 95 inches LongWe have the Dexter axle part # 7461121 which is a 6k axle and is 95 inches long overall but it has a spring center to spring center dimension of 80 inches so you'd have to move the spring seats 1 inch inwards on both sides.
view full answer... - Differences Between 3" Dexter Axle D44, D52, and D60 AxlesYes, the different Dexter Axle numbers correlate to various axle dimensions and setups. You always want to match the specs from your new axle to that of your old axle to make sure everything matches, lines up, and is able to handle the amount of weight you'll have in your trailer. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 7461121 is rated for 6K lbs, has a hub face of 95" and a spring center of 80", and comes with spindles that use inner bearing # 25580 and outer...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Axle with 95 Inch Hub Face and 80 Inch Spring Center Measurement I have exactly what you need for a replacement trailer axle with 95" hub face to hub face and 80" spring center to spring center measurement. For this we have the following options based on weight capacity. 3,500 Lbs: part # 7359765 5,300 Lbs: part # 6340624 6,000 Lbs: part # 7461121 7,000 Lbs: part # 8327834 The above options all have the built-in E-Z Lube technology which allows you to easily grease your trailer hubs without having to remove any parts beside the plug for the grease...
view full answer... - What Grease Seal is Needed for the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam Part # 7461121Yes, the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ is a confirmed fit for the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # 7461121. You may have noticed that the axle beam takes a 15123 outer bearing and the trailer hub takes a 14125A outer bearing. However, they both have a 1.25" inner diameter therefore can be exchanged for one another.
view full answer... - How Much Weight Can 5,200 Pound Trailer Axles HoldThe percent of the rating you can use for your 5,200 lb axle is 100%. The axles on your tandem axle trailer are designed to hold 5,200 lbs each or 10,400 lbs total. As long as you are not exceeding this amount there is no reason to increase axle capacity with the # 7461121. Also, other components on your trailer, and more than likely the trailer frame, are rated for the same. Even with a higher axle capacity you will be limited by the weakest component. If you're looking for a 95" 5,200...
view full answer... - Repair Sleeve for 6K Trailer SpindleWe don't offer a replacement sleeve, nor would I recommend using one, as a significant portion of the trailer weight bill be sitting on that bearing surface which isn't the case for the area of the spindle where the grease seal rides which isn't weight bearing. This leaves you a couple of options. You could replace the axle as you mentioned. Depending on your hub face to hub face and the distance apart that the spring seats sit, we might have an off-the-shelf replacement axle that would...

- 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...

- How To Choose the Correct Replacement 6,000 Lb Trailer AxleIn order to find the correct replacement 6,000 lb trailer axle you'll need to measure the hub face and spring center of your existing axle tube and then select the one that matches below if applicable. 86-1/2" Long Hub Face & 71-1/2" Spring Center - part # 8327826 89" Long Hub Face & 74" Spring Center - part # 8327830 95" Long Hub Face & 80" Spring Center - part # 7461121 In regards to mixing electric and hydraulic brakes, I do not recommend this as there would be a disconnect in braking...

I recommend going with the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 95" - 6,000 lbs # 7461121-EB which has the 6000lb rating you need, and has a hub face to hub face measurement of 95", spring center to spring center measurement of 80", and a 3" diameter to match your current axle perfectly. The # 7461121-EB already includes new braking assemblies and hub and drum assemblies to replace your current ones...
view full answer... - Determining an Axle's CapacityOne of the many ways of determining the axle's capacity is to measure the diameter of the axle tube or beam (not the spindle that the hub slips onto). A trailer axle will consist of a tube which is basically a hollow pipe with the spindles welded into or onto the ends. 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axle are usually 1-1/2" - 1-3/4" diameter 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8" diameter, can also have a 3-1/2" diameter, but rarely 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3" diameter 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2" diameter 9,000-lb...
view full answer... - What Makes 5200lb and 6000lb Dexter Axles Different Capacity?The thickness of the tube is not any different as they are both 3 inch diameter, and the spindles are also the same utilizing the same inner diameter bearings, hubs, and seals. The difference in capacity is in the custom bend in the axle that creates the zero camber angle for even road to tread contact. To the naked eye there is no difference between the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 6,000 lbs # 7461121 and the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles...

This consists of a 6000-lb axle with a 95-inch hub face spacing (and 80-inch spring center spacing); please refer to the linked diagram for these dimensions. The kit includes the axle beam and spindles, electric brake assemblies, hub/drums, bearings, races, seals, and mounting hardware. The hubs have the 6-on-5-1/2 bolt pattern and the spindles are the E-Z Lube type that allow simple lubrication. This kit...

- How to Measure for Correct Axle ReplacementTo replace your axle you'll want to measure your hub-face (A) and spring-seat (B) dimensions of your current axle (see attached) and choose one with the same measurements. You also want to make sure the weight ratings match up as well. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 7461121 has 95" hub-face and 80" spring-center measurements. This axle doesn't come with brakes or a hub so you'll either need to transfer ones from your current axle or you would need the...

- 6,000 lb Axle Axle That Can Use Hubs & Electric Brakes With Parking BrakeThe 6,000 lb # 7461121-EB axle you asked about does not come with electric brakes with manual parking levers, so you would need to piece the parts together with the following: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 6,000 lbs # 7461121 - Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ - Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes # 23-112-113 - Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies # BRKH12

The # 7461121 will be 95 inches from hub face to hub face and 80 inches from center of one spring seat to the center of the other. The branding of the axle typically doesn't make a difference as long as the measurements match or are very very close.

- How to Choose Correct Replacement Axle For Trailer With Mobile Home AxleThank you for that detailed info; and like you mentioned those are hubs for mobile home axles, which an equipment trailer should not have (mobile home axles are one-time use). There aren't any standard hubs with the correct combination of bearings and seal that fit the spindle on your axle, so there is no way to convert it. What that means is you'll need to replace the axles entirely. I know that's not the best-case scenario, but it really is the only option. In order to choose the correct...

We carry the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 6,000lbs # 7461121 which would match your 95" hub face and 80" spring center, but will require new hubs, drums, and wheels. For the hub and drum assemblies I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ....

To order a similar setup with self-adjusting brakes is possible but you will need to piece the kit together as we don't have it all as one part number. You'd need the following: # 7461121 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ quantity 2 # 23-458-459 # 7-5

From here if you measure the inner diameter of the grease seal, you may be able to narrow it down more. If you get 2.125 inches you likely have 5,200lb axles but if you measure 2.25 inches, then they're probably 6,000lb axles. We don't carry hubs that match those bearings with a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern so these measurements may not add up. This happens often with mobile home...

Once you have that measurement you will need to find an axle with the same measurements. For example the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 6,000 lbs # 7461121 has a hub face to hub face measurement of 95", and a spring center to spring center measurement of 80"...
