Should Mobile Home Axles be Replaced on Trailer
Question:
What parts should I replace on my mobile home axle as a precautionary measure?
asked by: Jim M
Expert Reply:
If you are trying to be cautious you'll need to replace the entire axle as mobile-home axles are only intended as one-time-use axles and anything beyond that is a risk.
You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one as we don't have access to what your numbers reference.
You will need to measure from hub face to hub face and then from the spring seat centers. You will also need to know what bolt pattern you have on your current hubs. I attached a help article on how to determine this as well.
I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry.
