Can Trailer Axle Hub Face to Hub Face Dimension Have an Additional Inch When Replacing
Published 11/01/2016
Question:
Hi, I have never replaced a trailer axle before and measured the axle that I am replacing from the hub face 61, Spring Center 48 and whole trailer axle length 66. I see that the part# 20545I-EZ-60-15 is very close to my measurements. Will the 1inch difference in the hub face make a difference and keep me from getting this axle? I hope I can use this one. Thank you in advance,

The biggest dimension to have matched up is the spring seat to seat dimension so that the axle can bolt up properly. If the hub face to face dimension is longer it may not be a problem but you would have to consider having 1/2 an inch of less fender clearance. If that's not an issue then it wouldn't be a problem to use the part # 20545I-EZ-60-15.
