Round trailer axle beam measures 60" from hub-face-to-hub-face and 48" from spring-center-to-spring-center. Includes pre-greased idler hubs - with bearings, races, and seals - for 8" to 14" wheels.

Specs:
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.
etrailer 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.
This hub-and-drum assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This assembly has also been tested by QAI Laboratories for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.
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.

Round trailer axle beam measures 60" from hub-face-to-hub-face and 48" from spring-center-to-spring-center. Includes pre-greased idler hubs - with bearings, races, and seals - for 8" to 14" wheels.The hubs didn’t fit the axel right. There was a gap where the axle met the hub. it wasn’t sealed good so I was hesitant to put it on the road. I thought it be a kit would be easy and would match up right away, but that was not the case. I also thought they would’ve been assembled for me before I bought it. I wasn’t aware that I would have to put the hubs on the axle myself. It’s a shame because I’ve never been able to use my boat Because of thisb
Easy ordering, axle arrived on time and no damage. The axle worked perfect for my camping trailer, would recommend your company any time.

One season ending and waiting for the next. There have been no issues with the axle I purchased from etrailer.
trailer axel is excelent. I have towed it about 4000 miles. It tyracks excellent and is very stable.
Axle and hubs were good quality. Dimensions were spot on 48" center hole of perch to center hole of perch. But.......some knucklehead built my trailer with 47" centers - so I ground off the perches and relocated on 47" centers. Took just over an hour to cut, measure, grind and weld old perches on new centers.
There was one odd phenomenon I've not seen before. The cotter pin hole was not driven through the center axis of the axle but rather offset to one side. Maybe that's how things are made these days.....or someone sneezed at the factory and the cotter pin holes moved. Nonetheless it's installed and works.
My Etrailer salesman, James X-72990 was pleasant in taking my order but told me the axle wouldn't be here for over a week. Then - he must have done something and the axle showed up in 2 days.....(Thanks James) Good product, good experience.

The box carrying the axle was empty. You might want to protect the ends of the tube better so it doesn’t fall out during delivery.

No trouble at ALL. Its been a workhorse and we thank everyone at ETrailer.
This is one of the best customer service based websites I've ever used. Amazing company to do business with.
Good: Excellent service by Lori B. Full order arrived quickly.
Acceptable: Light surface rust on the axle mount. Nothing major. Otherwise five stars.
Would recommend to others.
I’ve only received hubs no axle hopefully another box is on the way
Perfect fit, was hoping it was made in USA
So far so good. Axle is holding up fine.
The axle and hub/bearings were great, very good quality.
Just fyi, regarding the u-bolt kit, 2 of the 4 u-bolts supplied were 3/8 UNC thread and the other 2 were UNF--- but all the nuts were UNF --- fortunately I had some spare UNC nuts on hand. Very pleased with the quality and speedy delivery.
Very good axle. Exactly to specs. Not only was it cambered but it has a grease channel for easy maintenance.
Arrived on time, we’ll packed and fit my trailer perfectly, very happy with this product.
Use it all the time….zero issues.
You may also note I bought tires from you. Not too happy initially.. One leaked air, flat each week. Put some “green slime” sealant in it…ok now.
Excellent customer service. The axle got separated from the hubs in shipment. When I called them, they told me it was backordered for a month. They contacted me less than a week later and sent me a new one. They were very attentive.
Putting it all together was relatively easy, if a little messy. This axle combo compared to the old one is like the difference between a paper straw and a metal one!
Great product! I bent my old axle by overloading my utility trailer. I found your web site and found a replacement. I thought the price was reasonable. The new axle came fast and was easy to install.
super sick mang!
Handled the issue of my lost axle in a professional manner keeping me up to date on process. Excellent customer service
Great quality, great price. Even came pregreased. Looking forward to installing this axle.
Had to return but it was fluid and super easy! Don’t be afraid to try something and then send it back
I recieved my order today. Very impressed with the speed, and quality of your products! Thank you for your excellent prices and service to your customers!
Ease of installation and quality equipm ent

There should be a little bit of a gap so that the hub can spin properly. Can you send me some photos of what yours looks like?
