Expert Reply:

The rubber core of the Dexter Equalizers like part # K71-654-00 are not an item that can be replaced.

If the bushing would become damaged the entire assembly would need to be replaced.

If you had originally put on just the equalizers #K71-654-00 and not the kit #K71-652-00 then that could be part of the problem you had. The E-Z Flex systems use special shackle straps and wet bolts. Considering the damage that was done it is…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
