A trailer that pulls straight and steady starts with a solid axle. This 60" hub-face-to-hub-face round idler axle beam features a built-in camber that keeps your tires flat on the pavement for even tread contact and stable, in-line tracking. The 2,200-lb weight capacity gives you dependable strength for controlled towing mile after mile.
Keeping bearings lubricated doesn’t need to be a messy chore. The straight Easy Grease spindles have built-in grease zerks, so you can service your bearings (sold separately) without disassembly. Just attach your grease gun and go—simple, clean, and quick.
If you’re tired of lifting heavy gear onto a high trailer, the underslung design solves that. The spring seats are welded to the underside of the 1-3/4" diameter axle so your leaf springs (sold separately) mount below. That gives you a lower ride height that makes loading and unloading easier.
Your suspension hardware takes a beating on rough roads, so durability matters. This axle is built from high-strength steel and uses a patented welding process that makes the spindle welds 40% stronger to help prevent failures. The spring seats and spindles come fully welded and certified to CSA, QAI, and SAE-N standards for reliable performance.
Whether you’re fabricating a trailer or replacing worn parts, the 48" spring-center-to-spring-center spacing gives you a straightforward starting point. The spindles fit hubs that use L44649 inner and outer bearings and a 10-9 seal with a 1.5" inner diameter. Everything is built to fit right and perform confidently on the road.

In order to find the correct replacement axle for your trailer there's a few things you need to do. The first one is we need to determine the capacity. The first place I always check for the axle capacity is on the axle tag, which is actually located on the axle. Now, most of these are in the center and they could be a white sticker or they could be a metal plate. Now, not all of them list the axle capacity, but the vast majority do, that's why I look here first. Granted, this is a new axle here, so the tag is in fairly good condition, but we can see on here GAWR, gross axle weight rating, 3,500 pounds, so I know this is a 3,500 pound axle.
So if you do have an axle tag and there isn't a capacity listed on there there may be a serial number, an axle number. And in which case, you could actually reach out to the actual manufacturer with this information and they should be able to give you the capacity. Some of the more common axle manufacturers on the market are Dexter and Lippert. So if you don't have an axle tag, that's okay. There is still other options to determine the capacity.
One would be to take a fabric tape measure and record the circumference of your axle tube. Now, once we have the circumference we can use the appropriate formula to get the diameter. And then using the diameter there's sort of a general axle guideline to determine capacity based on that diameter. So, for example, a 3,500 pound axle is gonna have a 2 3/8 inch diameter beam. Now, a 3 inch diameter beam would represent anywhere from a 5,200 pound to a 7,000 pound axle.
And there's also some larger ones as well as some smaller ones. So if we don't have that axle tag there we could just measure the diameter here of our axle tube. And another way is to actually look at the brake mounting flange bolts. Now, this is just gonna give you a rough ballpark. The 3,500 pound assemblies, they usually use this 4 bolt pattern where it's the larger 5200 to 7,000 pounds, use that 5 bolt pattern.
So that's more of a general guideline. That's certainly not all you wanna do, but it will help you reaffirm when you're measuring. So once we get to capacity there's two more things that we need to gather. The next one is going to be the hub face length. So the hub face length is gonna take our brake hubs into consideration. We're gonna be measuring from the part of the brake hub where our wheel mounts from one side to the other. So we'll go ahead and do that now. Now, once we have our hub face length, we need to determine our spring center length. So the spring center length is gonna be from the center of the leaf spring perch from one side to the other. So once we have all this information we can then use that to select the correct replacement axle for our trailer. We have a ton of different options to choose from based on a few different factors. Number one is the length of our axle, both the hub face and the spring center. There's gonna be several different options for each of these. There's also gonna be different axle capacities based on how heavy you need your trailer axle to be and how heavy your trailer is. Now, we always recommend replacing what's on your trailer with the exact same one that came off. So, for example, if your old axle had an 89 inch hub face that's what we'd recommend replacing it with. And the same goes for the weight capacity, although you can upgrade. No matter what capacity you need we should still have an option for you. Now, in addition to the capacity, we're also gonna have axles with a built-in drop if you need that, or just a straight axle. And we also have some different kits that are gonna come with some different components. We can either purchase the axle, just the spindle only axle. We could get this with an idler hub, or we could get this with an electric brake drum and some electric brakes, depending on what capacity you need..
Ratings & Reviews
Got 3 5200 lb axles pretty fast love the price love the quality all of them come with brake flange and they come prewire inside pipe for brakes also the crown nut is included better deal cannot be found
Highly recommend them
With the purcahase of additional spring seats, I was able to get more clearance to the bottom of the trailer. Easy grease, where have you been all my life.
Worked great on my trailer.
It is a older trailer and I needed to move the anchor points on the axel but that was not difficult to have done.
Axel works great.
I love the easy grease feature.
I needed to replace my 3500lb drop axle. etrailer.com website is easy to navigate. I found a new axle, the price was reasonable, free shipping, it arrived in a few days and fit perfectly. I’m totally happy with the axle and the service I received from etrailer. I will definitely use them again.
Axle arrived fast, was exactly what I ordered and needed. Install went well with no problems.
I could not find the exact axle for my 2006 Carryall tandem axle trailer. This one was a perfect fit between spring perches but increased the distance between wheels by one inch. Also had to use a wheel seal with a larger ID. This was not a problem at all. I will be replacing the front axle shortly. The originals had a rust issue where the spring gripes (u-bolts) hold the axle. Well built product!
This is a quality axle that I will use on my single axle utility trailer. The axle is cambered and has the spring seats mounted. Just install your springs and hubs and you're ready to go! Great product!!!
Easy to install, great quality and has performed flawless, used it on the front axle of my tandem axle skid loader trailer.
Welds looked good however the assembler failed to rotationally align the weld on spindle/brake mounts properly. One was about 3 degrees off and the other side was an 9.5 degrees from the 12 oclock position. Not sure about the thickness of the tube. Kind of strange to look at when the top of the brake system is not at 12 oclock. Found this after I removed the spring pads on this 2.1 degree camber axle so I had to jig the tube to fine zero toe to locate the new pads as the 2.1 camber tube changes wheel alignment depending on the bend/ springpad relationship. Not sure the AVG JOE is going to be able to move the spring pads when the brake mounts can't be used as a reliable ref point. If the toe is off from improper pad rotational location. the trailer will eat tires at best or worse cause a loss of controlled tracking and someone could get get killed.
Just what I needed.
I like it the only reason I not put excellent is because the grease fitting thinks it's damaged
The product seems perfect but both grease fittings on the axle got smashed and transport I have to replace them
Everything is working perfect with that replacement axle. I have definitely put it to the test a lot of miles with a lot of weight. Very highly recommended.
Great customer service quick delivery on orders
The threads on one spindle were damaged. One spindle had a rubber cap protecting the spindle threads, but the other side did not. I doubt the damage occurred during shipping since the axle was well wrapped. I was able to get the spindle nut started (after many attempts) and straighten out the threads. Other than thread issue, the new axle fit perfectly.
The axle fit great. Just what I ordered. The reason for 4 stars is because the packing did not protect the grease zurc on 1 side. There was a rubber guard that protected 1 side but not the other. Without the cover, the grease zurc was damaged during shipment.
So far performing well. Have not been able to use trailer yet as much as I wanted to, don't use the grease nipples. Its easy to regrease without.
Part was an exact fit
Seems like a quality product. Did not come with nuts for the brake retaining studs though. They are 3/8-24 for anyone who needs to know. I couldn't find this info in the description.
The axles that I ordered last year are still working out great. But even better than the parts was the service I got from etrailer. It was so great working with a company who took the time to listen to my project and help me get the right parts I needed, especially coming right off the heels of a terrible experience dealing with bad information and wrong parts from a competitor. Even with some damages in shipping, the returns/ and replacements were no hassle, with most issues being quickly resolved and not even costing me any additional downtime. As a contractor keeping a small fleet rolling, your competency and professionalism have made me a customer for life!! You guys at etrailer will be my first stop for trailer parts.
Great price and good quality. 3500 lbs 4 in 74 in spring ct . Like center grease to rear bearing hole. Packed then removed zerk and then used bearing buddy
The product is very good, but the method of shipping was terrible. Originally, I ordered this about a month ago and the first one was shipped to me by USPS which I never received. I had to call Amy to re-order another one 2 weeks later. The second one was sent by UPS and I received it within four days. Amy is very helpful.
WOW! Super fast shipping! Ordered on Saturday. They said it would be here on Friday, it showed up on Wednesday.
fast shipping and the part fit great.
