How to Determine New Axle for Trailer With Hubs That Cannot be Replaced

Question:

I have a 9.44 on 4 camper hub that is warped and no longer usable. Do you have a hub that has tapered bearings with inner diameters of 1.25 to 1.75? Or a replacement hub and wheel rated for a camper weighing 3500 lbs?

The 1.75 inch inner diameter for bearing is # 25580, which is only used on mostly 7,000 lb to 10,000 lb axles, as opposed to a 3,500 lb camper. Additionally, there isn't a hub with that bearing along with a bearing that has a 1.25 inch diameter, so the best option we can offer is really going to be a new axle.

To determine the correct one for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center as in the diagram I have added; the other thing you need to know is the weight capacity of the axle you need, which should match or exceed the GVWR of your trailer.

I've added a link to our selection of axles for you to check out, or if you get back to me with that information I'd be happy to try and find something that will work for you.
