In order to find a replacement hub for your axle you will need to know the current bolt pattern, as well as the bearings and axle capacity. For example, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84655UC1 you looked at has a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and is for a 3,500 lb axle. It uses a # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearing.

To find out which bearings fit your spindle you will need to remove your current hubs. You can look for part numbers on your existing bearings or measure using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157. You will be measuring the inner diameter of the bearings.

I have attached a helpful diagram showing where to measure and find part numbers. I also included a link to all of our hubs which can be filtered down based on axle capacity, bearings, and bolt pattern.

Thank you for providing the measurements. Unfortunately there is not a replacement hub that matches these bearings. This is not uncommon when it comes to mobile home axles. Your only option in this case is to replace the axle. You will need to know the axle capacity as well as the hub face to hub face measurement to find the correct replacement. If one is not available you can also use a universal system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S05. This will fit any frame width so you will only need to match up the axle capacity. I have attached a link to all of our replacement axles for you to check out.
