I am happy to help you figure out how to find the correct axle however I am not able to find axle information based off of trailer VIN. The information needed when selecting a replacement trailer axle are weight capacity, the hub face dimension, and the spring center dimension. Please refer to the linked diagram. The particular axle diagram shows the measurements for Dexter Trailer axle # 20545I-ST-72-15 which measures 72" hub face to hub face and 58" spring center to spring center.

If you let me know this information, I am happy to make a recommendation for you.
