In order to find a replacement hub for your axle you will need to know the current bolt pattern, as well as the bearings and axle capacity. For example, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84655UC1 you looked at has a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and is for a 3,500 lb axle. It uses a # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearing.

To find out which bearings fit your spindle you will need to remove your current hubs. You can look for part numbers on your existing bearings or measure using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157. You will be measuring the inner diameter of the bearings.

I have attached a helpful diagram showing where to measure and find part numbers. I also included a link to all of our hubs which can be filtered down based on axle capacity, bearings, and bolt pattern.

Thank you for providing the measurements. Unfortunately there is not a replacement hub that matches these bearings. This is not uncommon when it comes to mobile home axles. Your only option in this case is to replace the axle. You will need to know the axle capacity as well as the hub face to hub face measurement to find the correct replacement. If one is not available you can also use a universal system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S05. This will fit any frame width so you will only need to match up the axle capacity. I have attached a link to all of our replacement axles for you to check out.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
