Video Transcript for Review of Terran Industries Trailer Spindles - Straight Spindle 3500 lb Trailer Axle - TX62RJ

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Terran Industries straight spindle for your 3,500 pound trailer axle. This spindle is a weld-on mounting point for the hub and brake components on the 3,500 pound trailer axle, and this can be used to replace a worn or damaged spindle or as part of a custom axle build. It has a straight, standard spindle design and 2 3/8 inch diameter. And as you also see here, a four-hole or four-bolt brake flange. The main reason you would consider something like this is, maybe your existing spindle has been damaged, often from bearing failure or maybe you're fabricating an axle and you need a spindle for the hub assembly.

Now, fitment's going to be the biggest thing to understand before picking this up. Knowing that you have a 3,500 pound axle is important, but you also need to make sure the spindle works with the hubs, bearings and seals and other components that you plan to use. And this spindle does have to be welded to your axle and its alignment needs to be accurate. If a spindle is not installed square and concentric with the axle, that can contribute to wheel tracking problems, normal tire wear, and premature bearing problems. So for that reason, spindle replacement is generally something to have done by someone experienced with trailer axle fabrication and welding.

So that being the case, on this product page, underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link, answer the questions it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to get this installed correctly for you. That's going to wrap up our look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
