Bearing, Race, and Seal Information
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.
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.
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.

Dexter did not include "D washers and E- Trailer sent them to me right away so I could finish my trailer project. Overall Great Jo will do business with them again. Thanks. 159174
Very nice correspondence and fast shipping Awesome to work with. 790496
Well painted, one hub lock screw thread bad machined from factory. 50lb bearing nut makes it in the beginning stif turning . Normal, will ease with use if bearinf are packed with sticky marine grease. Well build and packed even with UPS tormenting the outer box shell. LOL In etrailer I beleave sind 2016 after so many counter dealer headaches and $$$$$ pricing. 786528
good price, fast shipping. Way to easy! 762504
Quick shipping. Seems to be a quality product. Good price. Excellent customer service and question answering. Would be 5 stars if I could have found an axle short enough for my project. I had to cut down the 60” one I ordered. Not necessarily their fault, I’m just building a small trailer. Will order here again for sure 572753
Easy to follow instruction. I am proud I did it!. 517892
Made my trailer new again. Perfect fit, holding up well. 453109
The axle came right on time when they said it would be there. It was easy to put together and all the parts were there. It was helpful that there was grease included and plenty of it! I also appreciated that the company sent new lug nuts for the tire. The previous ones were pretty old. I was trying to put a 2016 axle on a 1974 hand built trailer and this axle fit perfectly. I will definitely use etrailer again. 265051
