Question:

I currently have a triple axle equipment trailer with 7k axles with an APTT3 hanger kit. I need to replace the bushings. I wanted to know how the APTT3 compared to the K71-360-00. Is there a benefit of one over the other? Will the K71-360-00 fit the same hangers and location? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

The Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Kit part # K71-360-00 has bronze bushings and wet bolts whereas the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit part # APTT3 has nylon bushings and standard bolts. The bronze bushing resist wear more than nylon and the wet bolts make for easy maintenance. The two kits are cross-compatible.
