We can help you find new hubs for your utility trailer.

You will want to match up a few things to ensure the new hubs fit and function. First, match the hub and wheel bolt pattern. The linked article shows how to do this. Next confirm the axle weight capacity so you can choose a pair of hubs that equal that weight rating; usually axles have a tag that indicates the weight rating. And then pull one of the hubs to remove its bearings so you can get those two part numbers. The new hubs must use the same set of bearings in order to fit on your axle's spindles.

We have both idler hubs like # AKIHUB-440-2-1K for trailers without brakes and hub/drums like # 84546UC3-EZ for braking applications.

On the page I linked for you simply click on the features and characteristics you need and you'll then see only the items that meet your requirements.
