How to Choose Replacement Axle for a Jayco 26BHS
Question:
I have a bent axle on a Jayco 26bhs. I would like to replace it myself. What axle would you recommend for replacing just the front axle. Thanks.

Hey Ron, thanks for reaching out!
To replace your axle I'll need to know the hub face and spring center dimensions of your current axle, along with the weight capacity of your axle. This information can be measured by yourself as well as found on a sticker in the middle of your axle - feel free to take a photo and send it to me!
For example, the 5.2K Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes# e75SR you were looking at has a hub face of 89" and then measures 74" for the spring center. If you check out the linked photo you'll see the measurements you'll need to take if you plan on going that route.
