Question:
I need to replace my axle for my 1996 Astro Trailer and it seems to be a challenge in finding what I need. I have all possible measurements to provide but I need help.

Expert Reply:
When replacing your trailer axle the measurements that are needed are the Hub Face (A) and Spring Seat (B) measurements (see attached photo). Aside from that the only other thing you really need is the weight capacity of your axle.
We do offer a small selection of traditional axles like part # 35545I-ST-89 as well as Timbren Axle-Less systems like part # A35RS545E that you can choose from. I have attached a link to our axle choices but if none of our traditional options match up to your axle and you don't really want to upgrade to the Timbrens then you would need to contact a trailer shop to order a custom axle.
Let me know what your hub face and spring center measurements are and I can also look through our selection for you.
