Axle Capacity Rating For The L44643 Bearing

Question:

I purchased bearing kit DL21792 for a spare some time ago. The bearings are both L44643. Can you tell me what the load capacity of my axle is? Thank you. Daniel

I can tell you what axle rating the Bearing Kit with Grease Cap part # DL21792 is compatible with however, I cannot be sure as to what axle you currently have. The L44643 is designed to work with a BT8 spindle that is commonly found on axles rated at 2,000 lb. and below. Both the inner and outer bearing will use the L44643 bearing on this axle.

The best way to determine your exact axle capacity would be to contact the axle manufacturer if possible. Usually there is a tag on the center of the axle with the axle manufacturer and serial number. Otherwise, contacting your trailer manufacturer with the trailer vin would work as well.

I have attached a wheel bearing help guide for your review.
