How to Identify Compatible Replacement Idler Hub
Question:
I need to buy replacement hubs for an unbraked trailer suspension arm 500lb for 4x4inch wheel. the spindle is 0.99foot diameter and 2.5 inches long untapered. It seems the only hubs on your site are for longer spindles? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The sure way to match up a replacement 4-on-4 idler hub to your spindle is to note the bearing and seal part numbers from the original hub. On the linked page you'll see all 4-on-4 idler hubs and all of these use one of two bearings for both their inner and outer bearings, either # L44643 or # L44649.
We also offer complete axle/idler hub kits in both 60-inch and 72-inch hub face sizes and these complete axle kits like # 20440I-EZ-60 are shown on the linked page. This kit includes the axle beam, hubs, bearings, races, seals, grease caps, wheel studs, lug nuts, and marine-grade wheel bearing grease included.
