Replacing Hub And Drum Components On Mobile Home Axles
Question:
Will this hub work on mobile home axles Im looking to change to standard wheels?
asked by: Robert W
Expert Reply:
Mobile home axles are designed for a one-time use and it is not recommended to use them for trailers. There is not a weight capacity listed for mobile home axles. A lot of folks do use them anyway but find that the hubs, and bearings and other components are really difficult to find.
You would need to remove the hubs on the spindles and use a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 and measure the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride to find the correct replacements. I have attached a link to the bearings and other hub components we offer you can check out once you get those measurements.
