This 7,000-lb trailer axle keeps your load stable and your trailer tracking straight. The round 3" diameter beam is built from high-strength steel and designed with a zero-camber bend that gives even tire contact for steady, in-line towing. The underslung spring seats are welded to the underside so your leaf springs (sold separately) mount low for easy loading and unloading. It’s a simple, solid setup that tows smooth mile after mile.
There’s no need to fuss with hydraulic lines or actuators. This axle comes with electric brakes already mounted, plus adjuster plugs, mounting bolts, and hardware. The 12-15/16" x 2-3/8" drum assemblies are built strong from cast iron and ready to go right out of the box. Once wired into your brake controller, you’ll have confident braking power that’s easy to maintain with periodic manual adjustment.
Keeping bearings lubricated is quick thanks to the built-in grease zerks on each straight spindle. Just attach your grease gun and pump—it’s that simple. The pre-greased hubs already include bearings, races, seals, and lug nuts, so there’s no messy packing or extra steps. The grease cap flange measures 2.722", and the 1/2"-diameter, 1-5/16"-long wheel studs fit standard 8 on 6-1/2" wheels from 16" to 17-1/2".
This axle assembly meets CSA, QAI, and SAE-N standards for performance and safety. Each unit is welded using a patented process that makes the spindle connections 40% stronger than conventional welds. The result is consistent braking, proper load handling, and peace of mind on every haul.
With a 95" hub-face-to-hub-face length and an 80" spring-center-to-spring-center spacing, this axle comes ready for standard trailer builds or replacements. Spring seats and spindles are already welded on, so setup is straightforward. Whether you’re fabricating a new trailer or replacing a worn-out beam, it gives you the strength and precision to get back on the road quickly.
Ratings & Reviews
The axle and spring seat are doing well after a year. Even with my shade-tree mechanic welding abilities and thousands of grueling miles thru some of the roughest highways in North America (namely West Virginia) both are holding up to the task.
While the axle and components were a good value, the condition of the brakes when I received them was poor. Several internal components were either out of position or had come loose (during shipping?) In any event, I ended up having to rebuild the brake hardware to get it to function properly. I will also add, that shipping this "bundle" with manually adjustable brakes is unfortunate as the drop axle makes accessing the adjustment star very difficult. Fortunately for me, I had assembled the axle assembly prior to installation. While challenging to do the initial brake shoe adjustment while up on sawhorses in my garage, at least I wasn't under the trailer trying to do it. As I am not the only person voicing this concern, I feel confident in saying that I wish eTrailer could come up with a design that doesn't have this issue.
The axle and brakes were a perfect fit. All of the parts I needed were included and installation was straight forward. I could not be happier.
I ordered two axles to upgrade my trailer capacity to what the frame is rated for, 12,000lbs. The axles have great bearing seats and backing plate studs. The backing plates are fully assembled and ready to connect to the wires already installed into the axle tubes. The hub assembly went smooth and only one set of break shoes needed adjustment. A good buy along with the 5 fully assembled tires and wheels.
Buying the kit complete was a good decision. It showed up early than predicted and having the grease and wires already in place shows your professionalism. I would recommend this product and company to everyone in the market.
Great service great prices
Arrived when expected everything was as described
Delivery was fast, fit perfectly hubs and brakes went together easily.
I ordered one everything went together. Great I have. Another trailer just like this one needs axles on it and I will order them. Very nice people to do business with.
The new axel came packaged really well and protected. Fit perfect with no problems and looked that the bearings came packed and in the hub assembly. Only thing would be nice is to have it come with new washer/castle nut/cotter pin.
IN THE VIDEOS FOR THIS PRODUCT AND ALL THE PHOTOS, IT SHOWS THIS AS A FULLY ASSEMBLED UNIT. WHEN IT CAME THE AXLE CAME AND THEN THE BRAKES, HUBS, AND ACCESSORIES CAME SEPERATE AND NEEDS TO BE ASSEMBLED INSTEAD OF JUST INSTALLATION.
This is a big improvement on my existing 3500# axle. I like that the y routed the brake wires through the tube rather than on the outside.
