Expert Reply:
Most hubs will be standard in the weight capacities for that sized axle. This range is usually 5200 to 7000 lbs. However, you will need to know some specific information about the hubs before you can pick the correct product for your application.
There are a few things you need to consider when choosing hubs for 5200 lbs. trailer axles.
The first thing you will need to know is what the bolt pattern of the hub you want to replace. A hub assembly like # 8-213-5UC1-EZ for 5200 to 6000 lbs has a bolt pattern of 6 on 5-1/2. The hub uses 6 wheel studs to mount the trailer wheel. However, hub part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ is a 5,200 to 7,000 lbs hub that has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. This hub has 8 studs to mount the trailer wheel. Usually, the hubs rated on the higher end the weight capacity will have 8 lugs over the 6 lug hubs.
The hubs may also have different wheel bearings.You will need to get the numbers of the wheel bearings to make sure you get the correct hubs. As an example, the outside diameter of the outer wheel bearing for the above listed hubs are both different is size.
Knowing the bolt pattern and then including all the bearing numbers will help you find the correct replacement parts for your axles.
