Typically mobile home axles use spindles that are very hard to fit hub/drums to because they are designed for one time use.

To determine if the # 8-174-5UC3 would fit you would need to remove your current hubs and get some exact measurement of the spindle. Where the seal rides needs to be 2-1/8 or 2-1/4 inches in diameter. Where the inner bearing rides needs to be 1.750 inches and where the outer bearing rides needs to be 1.25 inches. If all of these measurements check out the # 8-174-5UC3 would fit your spindles.

In that case the dimensions of your spindle will need to be 1.063 where both of the bearings ride and where the grease seal rides needs to be 1.5 inches. Basically you will need to measure your spindle first and then we will be able to determine if what (if any) spindles we carry will fit it.
