In order to find the correct replacement axle you will need to know the capacity of your current axle, as well as the hub face to hub face measurement. Based on what I found, your 2006 Weekend Warrior SuperLite FS2300 more than likely has two 3,500 lb axles so you will not want to use the # e35GR. The axle capacity can typically be found on the axle tag. If it is not listed, you can call the axle manufacturer and give them the serial number to identify it.

Assuming you have a 3,500 lb axle, the # 23-180-181 would also not be the correct brake assembly since it is for 7,000 lb axles. You would be looking for a brake kit like the # AKEBRK-35-SA instead, which fits a 10" x 2-1/4" drum and is made for 3,500 lb axles. As for the bearing kit, that will depend on the spindle on the axle you need.

If you can't find an axle that matches the length of your current axle, you could also go with a universal system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S05 which fits any frame width.

I have attached a diagram showing where to measure to find the length of your current axle. I also included links to all of our 3,500 lb axles, hub and drum assemblies, and electric brake assemblies that you can check out.
