Axle Dimensions

Hub Face and Spring Center Measurements on Standard Trailer Axle

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.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles

  • Can Trailer Axle Spring Seats be Relocated If Needed
    You can weld on new spring seats on your axle without compromising the integrity. So if you went with the part # 8327826 you could install the new seats with part # TRSS300 which would be easier than moving the brackets on the trailer frame. The extra width of the wheels being pushed out would not be an issue either. Going to a spring with more leaves would not be an issue either. We have the part # e94SR which is a 6 leaf 6k axle spring that is 26 inches long as well.

  • Replacing the Axle on a Gooseneck Horse Trailer
    An axle flip kit like part # K71-384-00 will raise the trailer the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring pack. I do have options for you but rotating the axle to where the bend faces the other direction is not one of them. The bend in the axle will actually straighten out once a load is placed on the trailer and if this was reversed, the axle would lose capacity. Now from this point forward you have two options both of which entail replacing the axle. Since your current...

  • Upgrading 4400 Pound Axle To 6000 Pounds
    I have a solution for you. I suggest going with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 6,000 lbs # 8327826 and the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks - Tandem 8K, 3-1/2" Axles # RM-2470-2580. These will work with the Dexter axle. You could do this however, it might not be a good idea. Increasing the capacity of your trailer's suspension will not increase the trailer's capacity. The frame and other parts may be rated lower than 6000...

  • Options For Replacing a 4,400 lb Axle
    I 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.

  • Replacement of Lippert 5200lb Axle, Electric Drum Brakes, and Hub and Drum Assembly
    Since time is a factor and we do not have the complete axle brake and hub set up, Item # 8327816-EB, in stock (August 2021). I recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle with E-Z Lube Spindles item # 8327816. This axle is 86-1/2" Long with a 5,200 lbs capacity that will replace your Lippert axle. The TruRyde spring seats item # TRSS300 will work well with these axles. Unless your trailer hubs are brand new you should replace both of them and keep the passenger side one around as a spare.

  • 6,000 lbs Replacement Axle for a 2011 Keystone Montana
    Thanks for the picture! I couldn't get all the information I needed off of the tag but our best option to replace the axle on your Keystone Montana is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes item # 8327826-EB. This axle has a 6,000 lbs capacity so depending on your specific model of High Country it should work. It includes electric brakes and hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. You will have to move the spring seats though. These are mounted at 71-1/2" and it looks like your tag says...

  • Looking For Replacement Trailer Axles With 70 Inch Spring Center and 85 Inch Hub Face Spacing
    We carry a Dexter 6K axle that comes very close to the measurements you specified. The # 8327826-EB has an 86-1/2 inch hub face to hub face dimension, which means it would only be 3/4 of an inch longer on each side which should still work well for you. The spring seats are 71-1/2 inches apart, but they could easily be removed and new ones could be tacked in place using part # TRSS300 which are sold individually. The # 8327826-EB comes complete with electric brake assemblies and a hub/drum...

  • Axle Thickness of Dexter 5,200 lbs and 6,000 lbs Axles
    The 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.

  • Availability of Trailer Axles With 72 Inch Spring Centers
    The two relevant dimensions when replacing a trailer axle is the hub face to hub face of the existing axle and the center to center spring seat dimension. Are you sure about that spring seat center to center distance? The closest axles we offer are a 5200 or a 6000 lb axle with a 71-1/2 spring seat center to center dimension. All have a hub face to hub face dimension of 86-1/2 inches. I've provided a diagram showing these dimensions. We have a total of 4 axles available with these dimensions....

Since the spring seats can be moved, you can use the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e33GR as a replacement. This axle matches your current axle length and has a spring center measurement of 71-1/2".

  • Can 5,200 lb Axles be Replaced With 7,000 lb Axles
    I appreciate the info, and while we can get you a higher capacity axle, a 7,000 lb axle can't replace a 5,200 lb axle because the hub-face to hub-face measurement on 7k axles is too long, coming in at 94 inches at the least. But what we can do instead is get you a 6,000 lb axle with the same hub-face to hub-face measurement that will also allow you to use the same hub and drum. You will simply need to have new spring seats welded on at your current 68-1/2 inch measurement; what you can...

  • Repair Sleeve for 6K Trailer Spindle
    We don't offer a replacement sleeve, nor would I recommend using one, as a significant portion of the trailer weight bill be sitting on that bearing surface which isn't the case for the area of the spindle where the grease seal rides which isn't weight bearing. This leaves you a couple of options. You could replace the axle as you mentioned. Depending on your hub face to hub face and the distance apart that the spring seats sit, we might have an off-the-shelf replacement axle that would...

This comes with a kind of adapter that allows you to do so.
