Straight trailer axle measures 95" from hub face to hub face and 80" from spring center to spring center. Includes idler hubs - with bearings, races, and seals - for 13" to 15" wheels. E-Z Lube spindles for simple lubrication.

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.
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.
Dexters 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.
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Straight trailer axle measures 95" from hub face to hub face and 80" from spring center to spring center. Includes idler hubs - with bearings, races, and seals - for 13" to 15" wheels. E-Z Lube spindles for simple lubrication.Fits as it should. EZ lube hubs are much easier than having to repack the bearings. This is the second purchase I’ve made from etrailer and their service has been great.
I had a utility trailer that my son used to transport a car. Apparently the car was heavier than the 3500 lb axle was able to support and he bent the original axle. The first indication was that the insides of the tires started to wear very quickly. I purchased a Dexter from etrailer to replace it due to the fact that it had the same inverted camber like the one that was originally on the trailer. I was rather impressed with the new axle. It came shipped ground and was delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Once received, I realized that I had ordered the wrong bolt pattern for the hubs. Thankfully etrailer had the correct hubs for the trailer in stock and I subsequently purchased the correct hubs to replace them. they also arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The new axle fit the trailer with absolutely no problems and installation was very easy. My tires are no longer wearing out, I'm happy.
Used it on a homebuilt trailer worked great and tracks perfectly.
I had a seemingly uncommon axel on my Haulmark 16', tandem axel, enclosed trailer. 95" with spring center of 82". Couldn't find these specs anywhere, so I ordered Dexter 95"with 80" spring center. Had a friend move the spring brackets to 82". Took him about an hour total. I installed new axel yesterday. Without ant assistance, I was able to install the new axel in about an hour. Perfect fit. Great price, panphenomenal and fast shipping.
Will be ordering a new axel for my flatbed soon.
Ordered the axle for my equipment trailer after finding out the spindles were shot. As with everything I’ve bought from E trailer it came super fast and was a perfect fit. Everything was quality material and just as ordered. Thank you E trailer a
Just received my order today. It’s been back ordered for a while, at no fault of etrailer, but they kept me informed about the status of my order and offered other options that were in stock multiple times. I’ve dealt with them a few times and they always have great customer service.
Great service, I delt with Amy and she was super helpful, I had ordered the wrong item and she helped me get the correct one and informed me how to handle the return.
The axle was great.The hubs were the wrong ones. That was my fault. I knew about the five on four and a half bolt pattern.and the five on five. I did not know there was a five on four and three quarter. Even though it was my fault,they were extremely helpful. I have ordered here before. And I will order here again. Thanks for the great service.
Ordered on Saturday, delivered on Thursday. Very fast! Put the new axle in and it fit perfectly. Could not have gone better! Five stars.
Simple install. Well made and reliable axle.
Fit was perfect, made for an easy replacement/ upgrade
Great product but inventory issues most likely caused by the pandemic slowed shipping.

No problems after a year of hauling atv’s and lawn equipment. I would recommend this axle if you are looking for a replacement.
