The equalizer is the heart of a tandem or triple-axle suspension, and this bolt keeps it locked in place where it belongs. With a full 1" diameter and 5" length, it attaches the equalizer securely to the center hanger so your suspension stays tight and steady. That solid connection keeps the axles working together and helps smooth out bumps and sway on rough roads.
You don’t want a suspension bolt backing out after miles of towing. This one comes with its own locknut that threads on snugly and stays put. The secure fit keeps the equalizer bolt from loosening under vibration or heavy use, so you can tow with confidence knowing the connection won’t walk out over time.
Suspension parts take a beating, so toughness matters. This bolt is made from Grade 5 steel, giving it the strength to handle continuous stress without stretching or deforming. The 8 threads per inch provide a solid grip for reliable torque and consistent clamping force through every mile.
Whether you’re running two axles or three, this suspension bolt fits right in. It’s made to suspend the equalizer in both tandem- and triple-axle configurations, restoring the correct pivot point and keeping the suspension geometry working the way it should.

Jeff Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this five inch long equalizer suspension bolt with the lock nut. Now, this suspension bolt will attach the equalizer to your center hanger on your trailer, and the lock nut is what will secure the bolt in place. You can see both pieces have a nice zinc finish to it. Now, this is for both pieces. If you just need the bolt, we do sell this separately on our website.
It's part number 7-182, and it's listed on this product page as a related product. And also, if you just need the lock nut separately, we do sell that separately. It's part number 6-112, and same way, it is listed on this product page as a related product. Now, I did wanna mention to install the slot nut correctly. Let me just zoom in, I wanna show you, if he look on the outside edge, you'll see those three indentations, right here.
Don't know if you can see it on there, up close. And, on this side, they don't have it. When you go to install this, those three indentations will face out, or face away from the bolt. So, you'll wanna make sure when you put it on, that you can see those indentations. And, the reason I say that is that will allow you to thread it on.
And then, when you get so far, it'll stop, and that's the locknut position. So, when you go to tighten it like that, it'll lock it into place. If you try to do it the other way, in other words, if you just took the lock nut and put it on the other way without the indentation showing, it won't even get started. So, it won't allow you to even start it. You can see it just stops, like that.
So, we do wanna make sure when you do install it, that those three indentations are facing out, that you can see them when you're installing it. A few specs on this, the diameter on the bolt, it's going to be right at one inch. Threads per inch is eight threads per inch. The hex head size on the bolt is one and a half inches. Length of the bolt, which was measured from under the hex head to the end of the bolt, it's right at five inches. And, it is a grade five bolt. And, the way you can tell that is, if you look at the head on the bolt, you'll see the three lines. Those three lines will let you know that it is a grade five rating. That should do it for the review on the five inch long equalizer suspension bolt with the lock nut..

Bolts I received were exactly what I needed to repair the equalizers on my goose neck trailer .
The fit was perfect. I will be ordering parts for my other trailers from ETRAILER
I have been trying to rebuild an old Big Tex trailer for the past month through local vendors. We needed springs, hardware, brakes, lights ect. We use this trailer for feeding cattle out on the range and the window was closing. Everytime I got a part from the local company it was wrong. Finally I found etrailer and everything was so simple to find myself and order. The service was outstanding and the delivery was a day ahead of schedule. I ordered all my suspension hardware and lights from them, it was quick and easy, quality looks great. Thank you
Exactly what I needed to replace the old, worn out equalizer bolts.
The bolts worked fine but I’m now looking for equalizers that are 24.75” long 3” wide and have spring bolt holes on each end.
