CE Smith Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - 57-1/2" Long - 1.8K
Great product. I bought the harbor freight trailer last year and within a couple of weeks I had problems with one of the Hubs. The bearings went bad and the made in China hub had a crack in it. Could not find an exact replacement and tried a bunch of trailer stores around the Chicagoland area. Then a few months later the other hub started to wobble when I got home and replaced it also with a close match but not perfect. Every since then the camber was off and I didn't feel safe driving on the highway. After a year of looking I finally found this website and they had the Hubs and axle to replace the bad quality of the made in China original one that came with the harbor freight trailer. Took a couple of easy hours to replace and I couldn't be any more happier. Drove it on the highway for 50 miles and everything is still nice and tight so far and it looks way better too. Plus, the easy lube system is the best part! George kept in contact with me from the beginning to the end letting me know that it shipped and that it arrived at my house. 2 days to get to my house! I will be back to purchase more things in the future!
It’s a great looking axle. This is perfect fit for the trailer I purchased from the discount hardware store. Straight forward to install. It was a pleasure working with everyone at etrailer. Couldn’t be happier. i have just one outstanding question. My old axle was round 1 3/4”. Are most people reusing old bracket (which I decided to do) or buying square bracket and if so what size? i have included some pictures of trailer and also some closeups of bracket holding axle to spring. Once again a pleasure doing business with etrailer.
What our customers are saying:
"WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!"
