It will be best to replace your mobile home axles with a new axle like the Axle # e35SR. The mobile home axles were never designed for long term use and the hub components are nearly impossible to locate. Going to a standard axle will help you in the future when things need replaced. I have linked a video below on how to measure your axle for you to verify you have the correct measurements to find a replacement axle.
