Axle Dimensions
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.
E-Z Lube Spindles Make Lubrication Simple
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
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.

THANKS ETRILER FOR TAKING CARE MY ONLINE ORDER THE DEXTER TRAILER AXLE WAS PERFECT FOR MY NEW INSTALLATION I DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE EXTRA LOAD ON MY BOAT TRAILER
by: Joseph 12/24/2023
Fit perfect. All parts from my old axle transferred without any problems. I welded the new saddles on the axle without any issues.
by: Mark 11/17/2023
Worked as planned = a good fit. My application required me to weld new mounts to the opposite side of the axle - my application was over sprung and had a 68.5" mounting measurement.
by: Bill 06/03/2023
The axel was received in excellent condition. After measuring twice I welded the spring pads on. It now sits in the rafters of garage. Dexter sent me a complete axel and spring assembly 2 days later that they said they would not. I now have a spare to take with me to Alaska next month.

I called to confirm fitment and availability. I then place the order on line on Wednesday and the axle showed up Friday evening. You can not beet that! Local suppliers where about $75.00 more and I had to go pick it up an hour each way!
by: John04/26/2024
You were great to the way you help me resolve my problems. The axle is the correct one I needed. Just one small thing I found that it was missing two mounting studs.
by: Mike B.11/14/2016
I inherited an aluminum trailer that ended up needing a complete overhaul and etrailer was the best resource I could have found. After researching extensively to find out what I needed and watching their videos on how to do it I ended up ordering an EZ-lube axle, galvanized hubs, springs and a hanger kit (in other words everything from the frame down).
Everything shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. All the parts worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier!
by: George M.09/08/2019
etrailer had the best prices and excellent customer service, Thanks Ian! Shipping was fast and free to boot. I bent the front axle on my in-laws fifth wheel camper and this axle fit the bill. I had to order a set of spring seats and weld them to the opposite sides. The original seats were at 68.5 " centers and that configuration was unavailable anywhere.
by: Alfredo03/02/2024
Check your order! I specifically ordered Dexter axles and they sent me generic ones.
by: Louis04/19/2024
I'd like to thank odella and Kate for taking such good care of my order.
I first talked to Odella and had to break off the conversation for something else called back and Kate took my call and was able to fulfill the order and take all my information very nice dealing with the company that has their people in the United States and you're not talking to a computer!
Also was really shocked I received the order 2 days early really good work!
by: Roy10/31/2020
After a rust related axle failure, my equipment trailer was down. (If you roll in the rust belt, check your axles near where the brake wire goes through)
After checking my local source, I was told there was a long lead time for new axles due to the pandemic.
I was so happy to find etrailer. They had the exact axles I needed. After I pulled the axles I realized I also needed hardware and u-bolts.
Everything arrived ahead of schedule, allowing me to get back up and running quickly.
Thank you etrailer. You are a valuable resource.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- Axle Replacement for 87" Hub Face and 70" Spring Center Measurements The absolute closest axle we have to your measurements is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 (without hubs) or the # 8327816-EB (with hubs). Both of these axles have a hub-face to hub-face measurement of 86-1/2" and a spring center to spring center measurement of 71-1/2 inches. With these measurements, the hubs recede about 1/4" according to your given measurements. I recommend making sure that your setup can accommodate for this slightly...
view full answer... - Option For Replacing a 4,400 lb AxleWe may have an option for you, but unfortunately we do not carry any axles with a 4,400 lb capacity. We could potentially replace your axle with a 5,200 lb axle like the Dexter # 8327816 which is 86-1/2" long from, hub face to hub face. If you can tell me the hub face length, and spring center length of the current axle, I can see if we have anything that will work as a replacement. I have included a diagram showing the Dexter # 8327816 axle measurements below for your reference.
view full answer... - Replacement Axle Thank you for the extremely detailed information! Sorry Michael but we do not have any axles with those specifications. The closest one we have available is the 5,200 lbs Dexter Trailer Axle Beam item # 8327816. It has a 86-1/2" hub face and a 71-1/2" spring center.
view full answer... - Could Tire Blow Out Cause Other Axle to Bend SpindleTire blow outs do not tend to bend or damage spindles but things can happen. I would recommend taking the trailer to an alignment shop who can do trailers and see what they think is going on. It could be damaged suspension components too so you might check there as well. To pick out a replacement axle you would need to know a few things but we don't what axle your trailer needs. You'd need to know the axle capacity, the distance from spring seat to spring seat on current axle as well as...

view full answer... - Will Bent Boat Trailer Frame With New Spindle Have Tire Wear?Since you replaced the spindle, if the spindle is aligned properly with the axle, then the axle will be straight under the weight capacity of the axle. If you straighten the tongue and the other part of the bent frame is behind the rear most spring hanger, you should be able to drive straight and not impact the tracking or tire wear. If you don't get it straightened out correctly all the way to that rear spring hanger, then you could absolutely have a tire wear issue or tracking issue...

- What Causes a 3,500 Lb Axle On Single Axle Trailer To BendIf you are under the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your trailer then the axle tube should not be bending. If you are and it is bending then there could be other issues but I have not heard of a weight distribution system causing this. The axle tube actually does not need to be rated for the entire weight of the trailer as around 10-15% of this will be carried on the vehicle. That said, you may need to adjust your weight around so that there is 10-15% on the tongue. If you do want...

- Can I Use A Larger Diameter Axle As A Replacement You can install an axle with a larger diameter as long as you have the clearance between the axle and the trailer frame. We usually recommend a bump clearance of 2" between the axle and the frame. You would also need to purchase larger U-bolts for your suspension system.
view full answer... - Can Hub From 3,500 lb Axle Also Fit 5,200 lb AxleHey Cliff, to go to an axle that has a larger diameter than the 2-3/8 inch 3,500 lb axle you have on your trailer currently you'd have to go to a 3 inch diameter axle which would be between 5,200 and 7,000 lb. This will definitely require a new hub and bearing setup as the spindle size is different but you could keep the leaf springs you have now.
view full answer... - Locating Replacement Axle for 1998 Hudson Trailer with Mobile Home Hubs You are correct that the closest standard trailer axles we have available to the hub face length you mentioned are 86-1/2" units such as the Dexter 5,200 pound # 8327816 or the 6,000 pound # 8327826. Please keep in mind that when selecting a replacement axle you also need to make sure it matches the capacity of the existing model. Since we don't have any standard units that match the dimensions of what you have the best option I can offer is a Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System. These...
view full answer... - Replacement Axle for a 2018 Grand Design Reflection 303RLSThe Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles part # 8327816-EB will work on your 2018 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS and it comes with a drum that has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. All you will need to do is simply move the spring seats inward to match your 68-1/2" center to center spacing. This is a pretty common task so you won't have much issue at all doing so. All you need to do is place a few tack welds on the spring seat to hold them in place. Unfortunately, we do not have the...
view full answer... - Do Dexter Hubs 8-201 Fit Dexter Axle 8327816-EBYes, Dexter 8-201 hubs will fit the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327816-EB. The 8-201 hubs use inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 15123, which are the same bearings the spindle on the # 8327816-EB accepts, which is why that hub fits.
view full answer... - Replacement Axle for Load Rite Boat Trailer with 82" Length and 5200-lbs CapacityI may have a solution for you, but it doesn't look like there is a stock axle that meets those specs; the closest thing I'm seeing in Dexter's stock axles has a 71-1/2" spring center measurement and 86" hub to hub. If you think it's possible your measurement is off 1/2" and don't mind having a little wider base on the trailer then you could use something like the # 8327816-EB. This is a complete axle system with hubs and brakes included and the EZ lube spindles make it easy to perform maintenance....
view full answer... - Axle Thickness of Dexter 5,200 lbs and 6,000 lbs AxlesThe 6,000 lbs Dexter Axle item # 8327826 has a thickness of .16" The 5,200 lbs Dexter Axle item # 8327816 has a thickness of .18" The thickness of the axle won't affect you needing an alignment, unless you're bending the axles by overloading the trailer. You will want to focus more on your suspension components if you are having issues with alignment.
view full answer... - Replacement 5200 lb AxleWe have a Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327816-EB that measures 86-1/2" from hub face to hub face. The catch is that this axle has 71-1/2" spring centers. It will also have a 6 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern. The spring centers do not match up so this may not work for your application. In this case you might have to special order the axle you need.
view full answer... - Options For Replacing a 4,400 lb AxleI may have an option for you, but unfortunately we do not carry any axles with a 4,400 lb capacity. We could potentially replace your axle with a 5,200 lb axle like the Dexter # 8327816 which is 86-1/2" long from, hub face to hub face. We would need to confirm the hub face length and spring seat length of your axle in order to recommend a suitable replacement. I have included a diagram showing the axle measurements below if you want to take a look.

- How to Correctly Measure for a Replacement Trailer AxleExcellent question. There are two important measurements, the hub face to hub face dimension and the spring center to spring center dimension.

- Replacement Axles for 2017 Grand Design Reflection 29RSWhat you're looking for is an 86-1/2" long replacement axle. Since you will need new hubs and drums, along with brakes, I recommend getting the # 8327816-EB. This has a 71-1/2" spring center length so you will also need to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match the current 68-1/2" measurement. Grand Design does a great job listing their parts, but unfortunately they don't include the leaf spring information. You will need to measure your current leaf springs to find the...

- Replacement 5,200 Axle for 2015 Keystone Cougar TrailerThe best option we have for a trailer with damaged spindle threads is a new axle beam as there isn't any sort of repair kit, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # 8327816 matches what you need although you'd have to move the spring seats part # TRSS300 in a few inches to match what you have now.

- 86-1/2 Inch Long Axle Option For Grand Design TrailerHi there Andy; thanks for that info, and while we don't have 3,500 lb axles that are 86-1/2 inches long, we do have a 5,200 lb option with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816. The spring center you mention is an odd one, as the # 8327816 has 71-1/2" spring centers. What you can do if you like is have new spring seats welded on at the appropriate 68-1/2" distance. For that you'd need a pair of Spring Seat # TRSS300.
view full answer... - How to find the correct replacement trailer axle for overslung setupThe Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 is the closest option available. The hub face to hub face measurement is only 1-1/2" more than your current setup, which won't cause any issues. The main thing to look at and match up EXACTLY is the spring seat to spring seat spacing. Since you need 68-1/2" spacing, and this axle provides 71-1/2" spacing, you will need to cut the spring seats off and move them to the appropriate spot for your trailer...
view full answer... - Replacement 5,200 lb Axle That is 86-1/2 Inches From Hub Face to Hub FaceWhile we have an option for you, there isn't a 5,200 lb axle we offer that measures both 86-1/2 inches hub face to hub face and 68-1/2 inches spring center to spring center. So what you can do is get an axle with an 86-1/2 inch hub face measurement and weld on new spring seats at the 68-1/2 inch measurement you need. The correct parts for that are the following: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 - Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb...
