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.
Another helpful measurement to have is the flange-to-flange (C) length, which is measured from the outside of one brake flange to the outside of the one opposite. This length may be easy to obtain if you are replacing an axle, but it's important to note that this measurement is not the preferred method for determining which axle will best fit your trailer.
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.
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 needed to replace a bent axle on my 16 ft dual axle utility trailer. The axle from etrailer.com was OEM and was a perfect fit. I've bought from etrailer.com before and will continue to do so. They offer great products at competitive price points with fast shipping and great customer service.

Thanks for the follow up.....just another example of etrailer.coms outstanding customer service. And, what a coincidence,......I was just on your website in the last couple of days looking at stuff for another trailer I plan to purchase in the next few weeks.BTW....I stand by my initial reviews....outstanding products, fair pricing, fast shipping, and outstanding customer service.

I am happy for the promopt delivery and packaging. The price was my deciding factor on buying these to fix my worn outdated axles
by: James08/29/2022
Great axle. Very pleased with it. I was shipped the wrong axle butt etrailer sent the correct one and I was able to ship the wrong one back later. Got me on the road a little quicker.
Other than that mishap,Ian pleased with the axle and would consider buying from etrailer in the future.

The axle was great, but I SCREWED UP the leaf springs.They understood my deli ma and sent out the springs I should have ordered. Most pleasant people I have ever dealt with.
Everything ships quick

Super easy to swap out with the old axle, the bearings fit the spindles perfect. The spring perches and the axle itself were straight, would and will purchase from again!

Great service! Axle was a perfect fit! Best store for trailer parts. I'm looking for fenders now. Guess where I'm going to buy them. That's right, right here. I suggest everyone do the same and save yourself the headaches of other stores backorder and bad customer service!
by: Joe Hooc04/22/2017
The axle I ordered worked great and after it was installed pulls even better than the one that was previously installed. Thanks to etrailer my old trailer is back on the road and the price was great. Thanks Again
by: Curtis03/16/2021
The spring center spacing was 74" as advertised. However, the information page made it sound like using this for my 74.5" spring spacing would be no big deal. I did manage to get it to fit but I will be watching this closely. There should be a statement on all trailer axles that stresses the importance of proper spring center distance or explain what is all involved in changing the spring mounting seat location.
by: Marc04/27/2023
Fit perfectly.
by: Elam01/05/2021
I was surprised at how easy this whole process was through etrailer. I was looking around locally for the same axle and found several of the same axle but all were around $200. I decided the next morning I would go get one locally, but then checked here and found axle a lot cheaper here. It was a Sunday night when I placed order and didn’t expect any response on my order till Monday but to my surprise about 1 hour later I got a email saying my order was processing and then a little while later another email saying was ready to ship, all on Sunday night. Order cane in the exact day they said it would. Will definitely be using etrailer for all my trailer items now. Easier than amazon. Thank you etrailer.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- Replacement Axle for 1968 Shasta CamperI assume this is a replacement axle, so in order to choose the correct one, you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub-face to hub-face and spring center to spring center as in the diagram I have added, with A being the hub face dimensions and B the spring center dimensions. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # T3584F-8974 is 89" hub face to hub face and 74" spring center to spring center with a weight capacity of 3,500 lbs. Additionally, the axle may not be...

- Will Tire Clear Spring Seats on 89 Inch Long AxleAlthough I am a little confused as to what you are asking, it sounds like you want to know about the tire clearance on a 3,500 lb axle that is 89" from hub face to hub face and 74" from spring center to spring center, like the Dexter Axle # T3584F-EZ-8974 (EZ-Lube Spindle) or # T3584F-8974. The tire is going to be well past the clearance of 6 feet (72 inches) you mentioned, as it will sit on the hub. I have added some links to help articles on trailer suspension which I highly recommend...

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, The other thing you need to know is the weight capacity of the axle you need, which should match or exceed the GVWR of your trailer.

I don't have a way to look that up so you'd have to get me that info and I can see if it's an axle we carry or one that you'd have to order locally....

That would require a minimum axle size of 3500 lbs like # T3584F-8974 and add hubs like the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K. We...

view full answer... - How To Find the Correct Axle Replacement for a Four Winns Tandem Axle Boat TrailerI would love to help but in order to find the correct replacement axle for your trailer or any trailer for that matter we would need you to measure the one you have now. The needed measurements are going to be from the face of each hub and then from the center of each spring seat. If the bad axle cannot be used as a reference you can simply take these measurements with the other axle on the trailer. I have then attached for you below a list of our trailer axles which you can sort by capacity...

- How to Pick Out Replacement AxleThere aren't wheel adapters but you may be able to use a replacement axle.

- Is There A 10" Brake Drum With The 4 On 4 Bolt Pattern?I can honestly say that this is the first time I have seen the 4 on 4 bolt pattern on a 10" brake drum, so this is not a common one. With that said, I do think it is a good idea to swap over to the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. This will also have 10" drums available, but they are going to be typically found on a 3,500 pound axle, so you will need to check your bearing numbers. If you take a look at the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K, it will have the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern,...

- Can I Upgrade 3,500 lb Axles to 5,200 lb Axles on a BudgetThank you for reaching out! The best thing for your situation is to go with the 3,500 lb Dexter Axle # T3584F-8974 you are looking at. While you can upgrade your axles to the 5,200 lb # e55GR, you won't really see a benefit from it unless you also upgrade your trailer suspension and then reinforce the frame so it can safely handle the extra weight of your cargo. When you toss in the fact that you're wanting to use the same equipment from your old axles that also helps clear things up...

- Replacement 3,500-Lb Axle for 2006 Fleetside Bayside Popup TrailerAll of the 3500-lb trailer axles we offer have a hub-face-to-hub-face length of 89-inches. For an axle with standard spindles I recommend part # T3584F-8974. The spring-center-to-spring-center measurement is 74 inches. If that matches the system you have on your camper then this will work well for you. Keep in mind the hub components are all sold separately and should be replaced since you are getting new spindles. The U-Bolt Mounting Kit I recommend for this axle is part # APUBR-1....

I can confirm based on the bearing sizes you gave that you have a 3,500 lb capacity. If you determine you just want to replace the hub, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3 or # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have the grease zerk integrated in the spindle.

view full answer... - Can Spring Seats Be Moved on a 3,500 lbs Axle?We do not sell axles without spring seats but you can remove them and have a new set reattached with a welder. The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles item # T3584F-8974 you were looking at has spring seats welded on at 74 inches. To move them you will need the Spring Seat for Round Trailer Axles with 2-3/8" Diameter item # TRSS238. It is recommended to not reuse the ones you cut off. This axle has a 3,500 lbs capacity and I have linked an installation video below.

In order to find the correct axle length you will need to measure your current axle. You are looking for the hub face to hub face measurement. I have attached a helpful diagram showing where to measure. Once you know this measurement, you will be able to choose an axle using the length and the capacity. For example, if you have an 89" long axle you would be able to replace it with the # T3584F-8974...

- Recommendations For Replacing An Axle With A 91 Inch Hub Face MeasurementThough I do have another option available, the axles we currently have will not match your specifications, unfortunately. With that being said, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # A35RS545E will be rated to 3,500 pounds, includes the brakes and drums, and will not rely on hub face or spring seat measurements. These will bolt directly to the frame of the trailer and give you independent suspension, which will also improve the ride of the trailer. However, they are not inexpensive....

Dexter Axle # T3584F-8974 is a 3500 lb capacity axle with a hub face to hub face dimension of 89 inches and a spring seat center to center measurement of 74 inches. This isn't the exact spring center dimension you were looking for, but it would be very easy to grind off the old seats and weld replacements like # TRSS238 into place. The standard spindles are compatible with a L648149 inner and a L44649 outer bearing. If you prefer...

- Does Two Axles Rated for 7,000 lbs Equal 14,000 lbs Capacity?Yes, if your trailer has two axles that are rated for 7,000 lbs then they would have a 14,000 lb capacity. However, there should be an identifying stamp somewhere on the trailer that has its capacity on it. You would need to follow whatever the lowest rated component on your trailer is in terms of capacity.

There isn't a kit for this type of application, and the bearings your old hub uses simply won't fit onto the spindle of this axle. So you will need a new hub that uses the bearings L68149 and L44649 such as the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb...

- Can a Trailer Axle be Put On a Truck Bed to Make a TrailerFirst, I am pretty sure you don't have to change the axle out if you are making a trailer out of a truck bed. You will want to check the laws in your state/area though. The highest capacity straight axles that we carry are rated for 3,500 pounds which likely exceeds the capacity of the truck bed. For a trailer axle that will accept a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern you could use # T3584F-8974 with hub # 84655UC1. Or EZ lube axle # T3584F-EZ-8974 with hub # 84655UC1-EZ. Both of these...
