Determining Correct Replacement Axle For Venture VB-1500 Trailer  

Question:

Expert Reply:

I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement axle, hubs, and springs for your Venture VB-1500, but unfortunately we do not have a breakdown of the specific components your trailer uses.

Instead you will need to measure your components to find the correct replacements.

Starting with the axle you will need to measure it from hub face to hub face, and spring center to spring center. In addition you will also need to check the axle tag on the center of the axle to find its weight rating.

For the leaf springs you will need to measure from center of spring eye to center of spring eye if you have double eye springs, or center of spring eye to end of spring if you have slipper springs. You will also need to know the weight rating of your axle to make sure the springs match.

Based on the information I was able to find on your trailer it has a 1920lb GVWR so it more than likely uses a 2000lb axle.

We have the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs # 20545I-EZ-72-15 which has a 72" hub face to hub face measurement, and 58" spring center to spring center measurement and includes hubs with the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

If this matches the axle on your trailer this would be a great replacement option.

For the leaf springs just let me know the length and I would be happy to make a recommendation for you along with the correct hardware.

I included a video of the # 20545I-EZ-72-15 for you to take a look at.
