Trailer axle beam measures 95" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 80" from spring center to spring center. E-Z Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).

Specs:
There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).
The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.
If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.
The E-Z Lube spindles on this axle are meant to work with E-Z Lube-compatible hubs to make lubricating your bearings quick and easy. Each E-Z Lube spindle has a zerk fitting on the end. And every E-Z Lube hub comes with a grease cap that has an easy-to-remove rubber plug. Just pop out the plug on the cap to access the zerk on the spindle. When you inject grease into the zerk with a grease gun, the grease will flow to both the inner and outer bearings of the hub, lubricating the bearings and forcing out old, ineffective grease. Once you see new grease beginning to be pushed out, you know that your bearings are fully lubricated. This means that you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
Dexter axles are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.
Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.

Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with easy lube spindles. Now, our axle is going to be a very important component of our suspension system. It's going to replace either an existing axle on our trailer or help us to fabricate a new system for our trailer application. So this is going to be a pretty heavy duty axle beam.
It is rated for 7,000 pounds max capacity, and this has a total length of 95 inches measuring from hub face to hub face. Now, the hubs don't come with this. You will have to purchase them separately, but you can find those here at etrailer.com, as well as the other components to get this installed, including the electric brakes, bearings, braces, seals and all that good stuff.Now, this is going to have a high steel construction. You might notice that there's a little bit of a bend in that beam. That's to help give us a zero camber.
So that basically means that there's no tilt in and out for our wheels. So it's just going to give us a straight line acceleration and that also helps our tires to wear evenly all the way across the width of that tire. At the ends here, you'll see we'll have our five bolt flange for our brakes to mount up to. It comes with these little caps on either end to keep the spindle relatively lubricated and rust free in transit. It does come with the D washer, the nut, and the keeper on the end to keep everything in place.
Then you'll notice that grease Zerk on the end, so that's our easy lube spindle there. It makes it a lot easier to do the maintenance on our trailer axle so we can just pop on our grease gun, pump it up full of grease to top it off, and that makes it easier than having to pull the whole thing apart, unpack those bearings or pull the whole cap off to get grease inside.Now, whenever you do install this and you have those bearings, initially you'll want to pack the bearings full of grease by hand because that's the best way to ensure that you're getting grease into all of those little nooks and crannies so that everything is greased up properly, but whenever it comes to just doing that regular maintenance, that grease Zerk on the end is the way to go.Put this back on there. Now, the spring seats are going to be an underslung design, so that means that our trailer leaf springs are going to be mounted to the bottom of the axle, so that helps to drop everything down and give us a little lower deck height than normal. The advantage with that, if you think of our trailer as maybe being up here, normally whenever we have our ramps come off of there, they're at a higher angle, so they're going to be a little bit steeper. If we drop that trailer down, now our ramps move out and they're at a more gradual or gentle angle, so it makes it easier to roll things up onto that trailer than whenever it's a little bit higher in the air.
So that's the advantage with having it dropped down a little bit lower. These spring seats, brake flanges, and the spindles are all welded on.It does have the five year warranty. It is a limited warranty as far as the other specs with this. Again, 7,000 pound weight capacity. The hub to face to hub face measurement is 95 inches. If you measure from the spring seats to the center of each one to the same spot on the other side, that gives us a measurement of 80 inches. The tubing diameter is three inches. The bearings that you'll need for this, which again, sold separately. Inner bearing, you'll need part number 25580. For the outer bearing, you'll need 14125 A. The brakes land configuration, he has a five bolt configuration there. This is made in the USA. That's going to do it for our look at the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with easy lube spindles. Again, you can find all the other accessories to complete your suspension system on your trailer right here at etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Trailer axle beam measures 95" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 80" from spring center to spring center. E-Z Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).Dexter axles always perform well. This is a replacement for an axle that was bent. Turned very tight in a parking lot, dragging the front axle side ways. The tire dropped in a pot hole and got wedged so hard it bent axle and broke U bolts. The trailer had 4 years of hard daily use before that. I'm sure the replacement will work well for many years as well, as long as I don't tear it up. 777522
Fit perfectly 765282
Great. As described 669998
Works as promised. My only complaint is that one of the cages that holds the nut from backing off was lost in shipping, you could see that the axle had been dragged by one end. The spindle was not drilled for a cotter pin and I was in a hurry so ran to the local auto parts store and got a cage rather than even mentioning it. 668086
