Can 3.5K Dexter Axle That Fits with 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern Be Used for 5 on 5" Bolt Pattern
Question:
I purchased a big Tex trailer that was severely overloaded at one time, I’m pretty sure the spindles are bent. It eats the inside of tires pretty fast. It has a dexter 3500lb axle, my question is: if I purchase a new dexter axle that specs out the same without hubs, Will my current hubs fit on the new axle? I have wheels and tires, but they are 5 on 5 bolt pattern and I only see axles with the 5 on 4.5 pattern on your site.

As long as the specs of a 3.5K Dexter Axle that we have on our site, like part # 7359765, matches the lengths you're needing, as well as the bearings and seal, then it will work with your hub.
One thing I'd like to mention is that if you suspect your spindles to be damaged then it's definitely work looking at your current parts to make sure none of the bearings, seals, or hubs have been affected. If they are in good condition then you're good to go!
