For an idler hub that matches the dimensions you mentioned of 72 from hub face to hub face and then 58 inch to spring center to center we have the part # 20545I-EZ-72-10 that comes with idler hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

As long as you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern this axle would work well for you.

I attached a help article on how to determine bolt pattern.
