Replacement Axle and Brakes for 2006 Weekend Warrior SuperLite FS2300
Question:
I need to replace an axle of my 2006 Weekend Warrior SuperLite FS2300 along with the brake assemblies on both sides. Almost lost a wheel while driving on the freeway. The spindle is completely damaged. Which axle do I need? Looking at the following but I dont know if it is the right size width and Its not a straight axle but has a . e35GR Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 4 - 94 Long - 7,000 lbs - e35GR Remove 23-180-181 Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12 - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7,000 lbs - 23-180-181 BK3-200 Bearing Kit, 14125A/ 25580 Bearings, 10-36 Seal - BK3-200

In order to find the correct replacement axle you will need to know the capacity of your current axle, as well as the hub face to hub face measurement. Based on what I found, your 2006 Weekend Warrior SuperLite FS2300 more than likely has two 3,500 lb axles so you will not want to use the # e35GR. The axle capacity can typically be found on the axle tag. If it is not listed, you can call the axle manufacturer and give them the serial number to identify it.
Assuming you have a 3,500 lb axle, the # 23-180-181 would also not be the correct brake assembly since it is for 7,000 lb axles. You would be looking for a brake kit like the # AKEBRK-35-SA instead, which fits a 10" x 2-1/4" drum and is made for 3,500 lb axles. As for the bearing kit, that will depend on the spindle on the axle you need.
If you can't find an axle that matches the length of your current axle, you could also go with a universal system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S05 which fits any frame width.
I have attached a diagram showing where to measure to find the length of your current axle. I also included links to all of our 3,500 lb axles, hub and drum assemblies, and electric brake assemblies that you can check out.
