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.
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.

I have had this axle on my trailer for a year now and could not be happier with it. Customer service was great dealing with them. I would highly recommend getting items for your trailer from here.

Mission accompolished just a few minutes ago. The attached (3) images attached tell the story.
Any customer relocating spring seats should measure closely before welding new seats in place to fit their trailer needs.
Again your technical assistance and quick order leave me a very very satisfied customer..

Adam was extremely helpful! After searching long and hard, the closest I could find was this axle of 80” spring centers. Mine were only 76” so Adam set me up with a pair of spring seats so I could carefully cut of the factory ones, grind smooth and weld the new seats at the 76” I needed to fit my trailer. After repainting, it looked like factory again. All others parts, brake assemblies, and drum/hub assemblies with bearings fit perfect!

Very nicely packaged quality axle. Super fast shipping.
by: Adam 07/03/2023
Arrived 1 day early and was not damaged
by: Robert01/09/2020
Fast delivery, part was the correct one, with one exception. I had to have the mounting bracket repositioned just like the previous one I ordered.
Once that is done, it’s a perfect fit. Thus I could only give 4 instead of 5 stars.
by: Donald01/11/2023
Great price and service with special care in packaging for damage free shipping.

It was what I ordered.

by: Dan M.01/03/2023
I had the new axle the next day, not sure how they did it. These guys are great it was a perfect fit.
by: Eric 07/26/2020
As described. I had to have the spring mounts moved in but that's not uncommon. Works as it should, Thanks.

Excellent,better quality than the original.
by: Todd06/15/2020
I have always received quality products and prompt service from etrailer. I was, however, surprised to find that the same axle that I order in the fall of last year had gone up $70 in price and the u-bolt kit price nearly doubled!
by: Wayne07/13/2020
Web site/video were GREAT!
Needed this Dexter Axle to repair the car trailer to get to our local race track this week.
Communication, tracking of this Axle put me at at ease.
THANK YOU!

This company is amazing! I ordered the night before a holiday, they shipped immediately and priority. It arrived really fast and exactly as described! Thank you for the amazing service!
by: Todd B08/05/2020
Easy to install, comes with a grease fitting that makes greasing the bearings a cinch! Perfect fit and etrailer shipped it out fast!
by: Jeff10/18/2019
Best axels available. The bend in the middle prevents the tires from wearing the inside edges down when carrying heavy loads. Shipping is always fast from etrailer. The axel arrived half way across the country in only 3 days! Grear company to deal with.

Great price,great product and even greater customer service.
Your foolish to shop any where else.

Excellent service from etrailer the axle was just what I needed my original axle was Chinese junk as usual Dexter made in the USA is all I need to see.
by: Link07/14/2022
Exactly what I needed to replace after hitting a pole and bending the old axle fit like a glove.

All products were as advertised. I used the expedited shipping and received my order in 3 days!!! Great prices and lots of helpful support documentation. I would highly recommend them for your trailer parts needs

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- What Info is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle for TrailerWhen picking out a trailer axle you need to make sure you get a few things matched up. The capacity like you have already, the the length from hub face to hub face, and the distance between spring seats. The Dexter hub part # 7685269 that you referenced is a 3,500 lb axle that has a hub face to hub face dimension of 95 inches, has 80 inches between spring seats an also has a 4 inch drop. If that all matches what you have this would work well. If you need something else let me know.
view full answer... - Does Drop Spindle Add Clearance?You are correct, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 7685269 does lower the trailer. The clearance is the clearance of the spindle from the axle, as you can see in the accompanying photo.

- Will Axle Flex Under Load The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7685269 does have a 3,500 lb capacity so I assume you just replaced one of the axles on a tandem-axle trailer because otherwise the axle would be far overloaded. Assuming that's true, there is going to be some flex in an axle when it is under a load; if you have a pair of 3,500 lb axles and are hauling something in the neighborhood of the capacity, it will flex even more. Since you said "slightly negative...

- Where is Drop Measured on Trailer AxleYou measured the drop correctly. It would be from the center of the axle to the center of the spindle. That dimension would be the drop. See picture I attached.

- How Do I Measure the Drop Distance on a Trailer Drop Axle?Yes, you are correct. In order to correctly take this measurement you will need to measure from the center of the spindle to the center of the main axle tube. I have included a picture for reference.

- Is it Okay to Use Two Axles of Different Capacities on a Tandem Axle TrailerTrailer axles will typically have the bend in the axle beam so that when the trailer is loaded down, the beam will flatten out causing the tire treads to make full contact with the pavement. If straight axle beams are used, the wheels could get into a negative camber situation with the trailer loaded, which will cause increased tire wear on the inside edge of the tire tread. Using a higher rated axle isn't recommended as it won't change the load bearing capacity of the trailer. The suspension...

- Replacement for a Marine Master Boat Trailer AxleIn order to determine whether or not the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop part # 7685269 will be a good replacement for your Marine Master Boat Trailer Axle we would need to know the distance between the hub faces and spring centers on the axle you have now. It would also be helpful to know your axles weight capacity. The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop has a 3,500 lb capacity, 95" hub face to hub face, and a 80" spring center to spring center measurement. If this is what...

- Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes For A Haulmark TrailerBased on the specifics you gave me about your axle, we found out it is a leaf spring axle, 3500 lbs with electric brakes, 5 lug 4-1/2" center, hub face 95", Spring center 81", with a 4" drop. These specifics correspond to Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 - 95" - 3.5K # 7685269-EB. This axle includes all the bearings, races and grease seals.
view full answer... - Can Spring Seats of Dexter Trailer Axle # 7685269-I be MovedYes, if you were okay with some welding you could remove the spring seats of the Dexter axle # 7685269-I and move them to 74 inches apart. This would likely void the warranty.
view full answer... - Should I Replace The Spindle Or The Axle On My 2009 Fleetwood Pioneer 23FQ Travel TrailerYes, this could happen with a bent spindle. I recommend replacing the entire axle and not just a spindle. Just replacing the spindle can be problematic because the new spindle will need to be welded EXACTLY straight. The spindle needs to be centered and concentric. It will require a highly trained welder who has the correct jigs and afterward your spindles will have different lifespans. You can find out what axles you have on your 2009 Fleetwood Pioneer 23FQ by checking your owner's manual...
view full answer... - Availability of 3,500 lb Trailer Axle with 95 inch Hub Face and 80 inch Spring Seat with 4 inch DropWe do have a 3,500 lb trailer axle with a 95 inch hub face and 80 inch between spring seats with a 4 inch drop with the part # 7685269.
view full answer... - 3,500 lb Axle Replacement for 2013 Neo Snowmobile TrailerThe Dexter trailer with 4 inch drop that you referenced # 7685269-EB seemingly is the correct axle but you need to verify the hub face to hub face dimension as well. If that dimension is 95 inches this is the correct axle since this has 80 inches between spring seats and has the 4 inch drop you need as well.

- Is the Dexter 7359765-EB A Drop Spindle AxleAccording to our records, you ordered a # 7359765-EB lb straight axle, not a 4 inch drop. For a 4 inch drop spindle axle, you'd want to order part # 7685269. I've linked you to a product description video featuring the Dexter # 7685269 axle.
view full answer... - Can I Change Out Longer Hangars and Short Equalizers for Longer Ones to Gain Fender ClearanceSince you have only moved things ever so slightly using a longer hanger like the Front/Center/Rear Hanger for Double-Eye Springs - 4-1/4" Tall part # E4139 will give you the desired effect and give you the clearance you need. You will want to use one at each connection point so at the end of each spring and above the equalizer.

We do sell spring seats separately in varying sizes depending on your axle diameter. I have linked our entire selection below. The Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 - 95" - 3.5K item # 7685269-EB you were looking at would use the Spring Seat for Typical 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 2-3/8" Diameter item # TRSS238. If I am mistaken and this is not what...
view full answer... - Will My Brakes Fit the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop Part # 7685269The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop part # 7685269 has four bolt brake mounting flanges already welded on. Therefore, if the brakes you have now have this same four bolt brake mounting flange then they will transfer over. The four bolt brake mounting flange is common on 10" x 2-1/4" braking assemblies like part # AKEBRK-35-SA which are commonly found on 3,500 lb axles. If you have a 3,500 lb axle now then they will most likely work for you but you can check by counting the brake mounting...

view full answer... - Replacement 3,500 lb Trailer Axle With 95 Inch Hub Face to Hub Face MeasurementWe do have a 3,500 lb trailer axle with a 95 inch hub face to hub face measurement, though you'll need to weld on new spring centers because 95 inch axles have 80 inch hub spring center measurements. So for the axle, without any hubs or brakes, you can use either of the following, along with the spring seats: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7685269 - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # 7359765 - Spring...

It is the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes item # e45SR. This axle has spring seats mounted at 80". It has a 4" drop with hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. This axle kit includes electric brakes as well. The hub face to hub face measurement is 95" which will not be an issue as you will only have a 1/4" extra on either side.

view full answer... - Replacement for Lippert 3500 Lb AxleYou have a Lippert 3500 lb axle with 10 inch brake assemblies/hub drums. We can't order custom axles, but we do offer a Dexter # 7359765-EB off-the-shelf axle that's very similar, the only difference is that the leaf spring seat center to center distances don't match exactly. This isn't necessarily a big deal, as it's pretty simple to use two replacement spring seats # TRSS238 and to have them tack welded on a 75 inch center. If the existing 80 inch spring seats interfere with the installation,...
view full answer... - Can a Lippert Axle be Replaced with a Dexter Axle?We do have a straight Dexter axle that is very close to your Lippert one. The # 7461121 will be 95 inches from hub face to hub face and 80 inches from center of one spring seat to the center of the other. The branding of the axle typically doesn't make a difference as long as the measurements match or are very very close.

In order to do this you will simply need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 which will work so long as you are using double-eye springs, and fit the 2-3/8" Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 7685269. The Over/Under kit will lift it approximately the same amount as your axle's diameter plus...

- Should The Drop Spindle On a Leaf Sprung Trailer Axle Be Angled Toward The Rear Of a Trailer? On a axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop # 7685269 the spindle should be straight up and down off the leaf spring. If your leaf springs are at any kind of angle this would cause the axle to then be angled off the trailers frame. Also if the Spring Seat # TRSS238 was changed and not welded on properly with the axle at the correct angle this would cause the spindle to not be straight up and down.
