Determining Correct Replacement Equalizers For Triple Axle Trailer
Updated 03/29/2021 | Published 03/25/2021
Question:
I was trying to measure axle to axle to order equalizers with the rubber bushing because one of my equalizers is completely broken in halve. The problem is after watching the videos on how to measure between the axles I am getting two differnt measurements between all three axles. I Stood back and can see that the space between each axle is noticeable differnt one is 31 and the other is 35. How?

There are trailers that leave the factory with different axle spacing, so I wouldn't worry too much about the difference.
To determine the correct replacement equalizer I recommend measuring the distance between the horizontal mounting holes in the equalizers on the other side of the trailer to find the correct size.
For example the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers w/ Never Fail Bushings - Double Eye Springs - Triple Axle - 3K to 6K # LC281314 measure 5-1/2" between the horizonal mounting holes as shown in first picture, where the # LC279689 measures 7-1/2" between the horizontal mounting holes.
You will want to go with the option that most closely matches your current equalizers.
I included videos for the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
