In order to locate the correct replacement bearings for your Load Rite trailer, I recommend simply pulling the hubs and checking for the bearing numbers that should be stamped inside the bearings themselves. If you cannot locate the numbers, you can also take a few measurements along the trailer spindle with a digital caliper like # PTW80157. I have attached an image that clarifies where the measurements will be taken.

Unfortunately, trailer manufacturers don't often keep a good record of the smaller parts like bearings that they install at the factory, so this is still the best method for determining the correct parts.

With this in mind, I did do some research on your UT58 model and found that it features a 3,500 pound axle. If this is the case, most likely the hubs will use # L68149 for the inner bearing and # L44649 for the outer bearing, but it is still a good idea to check your existing hubs just to be sure.
