Question:
Hello, I have a 2005 Karavan single axle BW-2350-74-st with a GVWR of 2791. 14 inch wheels. I need a new hub. It is a 5 on 4 1/2 design. The axle is about 2 inch square with tapered spindles. Can you point me to hubs that might work?

Expert Reply:
From my research on your 2005 Karavan model BW-2350-74-st, you most likely have a 3500 pound axle on your boat trailer. For a great hub, I recommend the CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 # CE13515. This particular hub is galvanized in order to give you extra rust/corrosion protection. The hub also comes pre-greased to help with the installation. This hub is compatible with 14-inch wheels.
In order to confirm for sure this is what you need, I recommend looking at your inner bearing and outer bearing on your setup. If you have the # L68149 inner bearing and # L44649 outer bearing, the # CE13515 is definitely the correct part.
