Question:

Expert Reply:
We do carry replacement axles, like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 7359765, which has a maximum weight capacity of 3,500-lbs, has a hub face to hub face length of 95", and a spring center to spring center length of 80".
However, to determine a correct replacement, you're going to need to find your axle tag for the weight capacity, which is usually found in the center, and then measure your hub face to hub face, and spring center to center.
Once you have all this information you can accurately pick out a new axle.
I have attached a picture showing where you'd need to measure.
