We do have spindles and hubs for 2,000 lb axles, but we first want to determine which spindle and hub will work best for you. To do this we will need additional information about your current spindles and hubs to ensure the new spindle and hub match what you currently have. Unfortunately SnowBear does not provide general spindle and hub information for their trailers.

The best way to ensure you get the correct spindle and hub is by using the part numbers of your bearings and grease seal. We will also need to know if you have a square or round axle, the diameter of the axle and the bolt hole pattern of your wheels. I have attached a photo showing where the part numbers of the bearings and grease seal can be found and an FAQ article on how to determine your wheel bolt pattern.

If you are unable to locate the part numbers on your bearings and grease seal, we can also find the correct spindle based on the measurements of your current spindle. The photo that I attached shows the spindle measurements we will need. These measurements must be precise, so using a dial caliper would be best. Using a ruler or tape measure would not be sufficient.

Once we have that information, I can recommend the correct parts for you.
