Ask the Experts about this TruRyde Trailer Spindles

• Can a 1-1/16 Inch Trailer Axle Spindle Handle Speeds of 75 Miles Per Hour
  Spindles typically do not have a speed rating. Traditionally, the component that limits the trailer speed is the tire. My contact at our spindle manufacturer confirmed that the spindle will perform well when the tire speed is complied with. I also recommend servicing your trailer often if you are driving at speeds upward of 75 mph. You will want to ensure the bearings are properly lubricated and red grease, like # L11390, will work well. I've attached a help article on trailer maintenance...

• Recommendation for Failing EZ Lube Spindle and Vortex Hub
  We do not carry the Vortex hubs made by Tie Down Engineering. Unfortunately because of this, I don't really know how to assist with troubleshooting the hubs themselves as they are designed to seal out moisture and debris, yet are obviously failing. The threaded cab should have an o-ring to prevent moisture entry and the seal should prevent it on the other side. The zerk fitting on your EZ lub spindles is a part of the spindle so to replace that would require changing the entire spindle....

• Choosing Proper Set Angle for Replacement Dexter Torsion Axle.
  To allow for full articulation so you don't have to worry about the tires bottoming out int he wheel wells, I'd recommend going with a 15° down torsion axle. If the original axle was a 0°, this would raise the trailer up a bit. A 'down' axle places the spindle centerline below the frame member, while a 0° would place it even with the frame.

• Which Grease Seal for Trailstar Boat Trailer
  I don't have reference that lists which grease seal the hub on your trailer uses. In order to recommend the correct grease seal, I'll need some information from you. I'll need the inner bearing reference number and the diameter of the spindle where the grease seal rides. When you measure the spindle diameter, you'll need to use a highly accurate measuring tool like a digital caliper. Once I have that information, I'd be happy to recommend a grease seal for you.

• How Do Trailer Spindles Typically Install on Trailer Axle
  Removing a damaged spindle is the easy part - it can be cut off with a torch or saw. But welding on a new one is another matter and requires the new spindle be welded exactly straight. It is actually easier to replace the entire axle with a new one that has good spindles on both ends. This may even be less costly than having a new spindle welded on by a qualified welder. It will also ensure that both spindles will have the same working lifespan, which would not be the case if only one is...

• Is there Any Way to Determine the Trailer Bearing Measurements without Pulling the Hub
  The short answer is that you cannot. You will need to pull the hub and get the numbers stamped into the bearings to find the correct replacements. It is possible that if you know the spindle part number and/or dimensions that you will be able to determine the seals that way. I also may be able to figure it out if I had the bolt pattern of the wheel, see link, and the axle capacity. The best way is to pull the hub. I have included a link to a video that might help. If you are going to...

• Steel Type for Trailer Axle Spindle TRU44FR
  I checked with Trudyde, and I was able to find out that the bar stock material used to make the spindle is hot rolled SAE 1045 steel, which allows the spindle to harden to an extent. The spindle needs to retain a slight amount of flex to retain its durability when a trailer goes over a bump or through a hole in the road.

  Based on your hub having two of the L44649 bearings that would mean you need a BTR spindle like the part # TRU44FR.
