Question:

I have a yacht club trailer that has a damaged spindle and it keeps wearing out bearings. I am looking to get a new axle for my trailer, I am wondering if you can tell me what axle and hubs I will need. Vin number is. model number is 1815 bwg. Can you please let me know if you have the axle I need for this trailer. Thanks

I wish there was an axle database that I could look your VIN up and see what you would need. You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one.

You will need to measure from hub face to hub face and then from the spring seat centers. You will also need to know what bolt pattern you have on your current hubs. I attached a help article on how to determine this as well.

I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry.
