Expert Reply:
We actually have quite a few trailer hub assemblies for a 5,200 pound axle. In addition to brand and construction, the difference between the available options have to do with the bearing sizes they use, their bolt pattern, and whether they are standard grease or oil bath units.
In order to determine the correct replacement hub for your trailer, you will want to pull an existing hub and check for the bearing and grease seal numbers. These numbers should be stamped right inside the bearings and grease seal. If you cannot read the numbers you can also take a few measurements along the trailer spindle with a digital caliper like # PTW80157 (see attached image).
You will then want to note your current bolt pattern to ensure that the new hubs will be compatible with your existing wheels. I have attached a great article that explains how to measure this if you are unsure.
As an example, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ features an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern and uses the # 25580 inner bearing, # 14125A outer bearing, and GS-2250DL grease seal. It has a sturdy iron construction and all the bearings, races, seal, and bolts are included.
I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of 5,200 pound hubs that you can look through.
