Picking Out Axle for 1970 Dilly Boat Trailer
Updated 03/28/2019 | Published 03/27/2019 >
Question:
I WORK AT A MECHANIC SHOP AND THIS DILLY BOAT TRAILER CAME IN AND BOTH AXLES ARE BENT REALLY BAD AND THE HUBS ARE GONE. HOW DO I DETERMINE WHAT LENGTH OF AN AXLE TO GET FOR THIS TRAILER?

Expert Reply:
You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one as we don't have access to what your numbers reference.
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.
