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. This axle is also built with drop spindles, which will lower the ride height of your trailer to allow for easier 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.

Round trailer axle beam measures 89" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 74" from spring center to spring center. E-Z Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).by: David 04/08/2023
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!
by: Ed06/26/2020
I received the items in a very timely fashion and in great shape. I torched off the old U bolts and removed the axle. I removed the new spring seats using a cut off wheel in my grinder and moved them inward one inch on each side, then MIG weld the new ones on they lined up perfectly to the old ones. I then installed the new U bolt kit and torqued them down to 65 foot lbs. The old bearings were only one year old and reused them after cleaning. I installed new seals at this time. The brake pads were same age as bearings showing little wear. The old axles were not Dexter axles and rusted from the inside out then broke off by the drop.. I replaced both. Was a pleasant experience and would do it all over again.

Had to cut off the mounts and re-weld since it didn't fit my trailer perfectly. However it was the best option for me and the product was just as described.

I build custom trailers. I have been doing so for 50+ years. etrailer has consistently been the second cheapest supplier of axles, springs, hangers, hubs, and etc. that we have been able to locate. When you see the difference in quality that etrailer has you'll be buying the second cheapest too! These guys only offer one kind of quality - the EXCELLENT kind. Of the 8 or so trailers that I have in the road 24/7; 100% of them were made from etrailer components! Highly recommended!

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!

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axles for TrailerI don't have a way to look up your axle based on the number you gave me but I can help you pick out the correct replacement axle based on a few measurements. First thing you need is the axle capacity. That would be listed on the axle on a plate/sticker or you can measure the diameter of the axle to get this as well. Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles:...
view full answer... - Replacement Axle for 1973 Avion La Grande CamperFor your 1973 Avion La Grande camper, you will simply need to determine the axle capacity which is normally the gvwr of the trailer divided by the number of axles, and then the length of the axle and center on center measurement of where the leaf springs connect. I've linked the page to all of the axle options we carry with some being axle-less replacing the springs and the spindles for a universal fit. I've linked the page to all of our axle options to assist. If you'd like a recommendation,...
view full answer... - What is Height Difference Between 10 Degree Down and 45 Degree Down Torsion AxleWhile we don't carry torsion axles we do know that when you go from a 10 degree down torsion axle to a 45 degree down torsion axle you do gain height. The height difference is right at 2 inches with no load. I attached a link to all of our axles as well.
view full answer... - Is the Weight of the Wheels and Tires Part of the Capacity of the Dexter Axle Beam with 4" Drop The axle capacity of something like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 8327812 refers to the amount of weight that it can carry; the weight of the tires, wheel, etc. are not part of the load and actually also carry weight, so they're not considered in the equation when it comes to the axle. This axle is 89" from hub face to hub face and 74" between the centers of the spring seats, which would be the important measurements to match up with...
view full answer... - Will 89 Inch Hub to Hub Axle Have Enough Clearance for 77-1/2 Inch Frame to Frame DimensionIt is recommended you have 2 inches of clearance from the trailer frame to the inside of the tire so the 89 inch Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8327812-EB will have the needed tire clearance for a 77-1/2 inch outside to outside trailer frame. This is going to depend on the tires you have. If they are 8 inches or so wide you would be cutting it close. Additionally, they can only be shipped with the spring seats welded on, as that's how we receive...
view full answer... - axleHey Jesse, I really wish we could help but we don't carry torsion axles at this time so there's nothing we can offer at this time.
view full answer... - Does Dexter Hub # 8327812-EB Come Assembled Ready to Bolt On The Dexter trailer axle part # 8327812-EB does not come fully assembled. You would need to mount the axle and then put the bearings and seal in the hub and then install the hub. I would recommend packing the grease in the hub by hand instead of using the EZ lube fittings.
view full answer... - Width of Dexter Trailer Axle With Electric Brakes and 4 DropThe Dexter Trailer Axle with Electric Brakes - 4" Drop # 8327812-EB measures 89 inches hub face to hub face and about 92 inches if you are including the hub being on, or from spindle to spindle. That said, once the wheel and tire are on the measurement is going to be different depending the sizes of those. As a note, I did want to mention that to choose the correct axle size you will want to find the axle with the same spring center to spring center and hub face to hub face dimensions as...
view full answer... - Can Spring Seat of Axle be Moved a Couple Inches to Allow Axle to Fit on TrailerYou can move spring seats by having them cut off and rewelded in the correct location so the Dexter axle part # 8327812-EB that you referenced would work for you as long as you'd be willing to do that step. With this axle being 1 inch shorter in length than what you have now you'd have 1/2 an inch less clearance from the inside of the tire sidewall to the frame of the trailer.
view full answer... - What are Specs of Dexter Trailer Axle # 8327812-II can't find any info on that Dexter trailer axle but the part # 8327812-I is a 3.5k lb trailer axle with a 4 inch drop that is 89 inches from hub face to hub face and 74 inches between spring seats. This is a pretty common configuration but you would need to verify that these dimensions are what you have/need.
view full answer... - Where is Drop Measured From for Trailer Axle With Drop Spindle?The Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube # 8327812-EB has spindles that drop 4 inches from the center of the trailer axle beam. What this means is that you get an additional 4 inches of clearance from the center of the beam to the spindle.
view full answer... - Can the Spring Seats Be Moved on the Dexter 3,500 LB Drop AxleThe Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles part # 8327812 measures 89" long between each hub face and 74" long between each spring center. It is not offered with 89" between each hub face and 70-1/2" long between each spring center because the spring seats can be moved. The spring seats for this axle can be moved to a minimum of 75" apart and a maximum of 71" apart. Since you only need to go in 1/4" more on either side I would say you are fine to move the spring seats on...

- Replacement Axle Option for 92-1/2" Hub Face to Hub Face and 70" From Spring Center to Spring CenterI'm not seeing any axles that match those specs; they're all just a bit too long. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 8327812 is 89" hub face to hub face and has 74" spring center to spring center. The closest axle in terms of spring centers is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 86-1/2" - 6K # 8327826-EB and has 71" spring center to spring center. Using either of these axles would...
view full answer... - How To Make It So Axle Has Spring Seats On Top Of Axle So Axle Is Underneath Leaf SpringsI would be happy to help, but we do not offer any axles with the the spring seat mounted on the top of the axle. There is a work around to this but I will need to know what size axle you are needing for your trailer, as I am unable to determine the correct axle based on just the trailer model. You will need to measure your axle from hub face to hub face, spring center to spring center, and determine the axle rating of the axle. To find the axle rating you will need to look on the axle...

- Replacement Bearings for a Dexter Axle I just heard back from Dexter. To replace the bearings on your 99 Dexter axle serial number D3651821 you will need the Replacement Trailer Hub Bearing - L44649 item # L44649. Your axle uses the same inner and outer bearings. I wasn't able to get any other information from Dexter about your axle. If you would like to email me directly or comment below your axle's hub face and spring seat measurements I would be happy to see if we have a replacement. I have linked a diagram below to show...

- When Replacing Trailer Axle Does the Spring Seat Measurement have to be ExactFor axles such as # 8327812-I the spring center measurement does have to be exact, however, you can weld on new spring seats if you need to. You would need to have a professional welder weld on 2 of # TRSS238 in the proper locations.
view full answer... - How Exact Does The Spring Seat Measurement Need To Be?I spoke with Dexter about the spring seats being ever so slightly off, and they said it is possible to use the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327812-EB since it is so close, but it may also put more stress on the suspension. This can cause premature wear and isn't recommended. It will be better to either have a local trailer supply store order an axle to your specifications, or order the # 8327812-EB with qty.2 of the 2-3/8" Axle Spring Seat # TRSS238. You will need to remove the existing...
view full answer... - U-Bolt Kit for Dexter 3,500 lb. Round Trailer Axle BeamsFor a 2-3/8 inch diameter round trailer axle such as # 8327812-I you will need u-bolt kit # APUBR-1. It includes 4 u-bolts, 8 nuts, and 2 u-bolt plates. I have included a link to a video featuring this kit for you. The spring seats are already welded to the axle.

On an axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327812-I with it being 89" long and having a 4" drop the maximum allowable overhang is 18". This means the smallest spring center to spring center measurement allowed by Dexter would be 71". While we do not carry this size you can have 2 new Spring Seats # TRSS238 welded on at that distance. This would require you to move your leaf springs since you cannot position the springs where you need. You could possibly special order a narrower axle...

You will be able to use the Dexter # 8327812-EB which is an 89" long axle with 74" spring center to spring center; you will need to have the spring seats moved to match your 77" center on center location by a certified welder.

It also wouldn't hurt to measure the hub-face-to-hub-face as well, to ensure that your axle is 89" long.

- Does Drop Axle Raise or Lower the TrailerA drop axle will lower the trailer trailer deck; each of our drop axles are a 4 inch drop, so that is how much it will lower the deck.

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!
