Question:

I have an older 2 axle 16 Interstate enclosed trailer. Any easy way to determine the correct spindle for replacement? Got really hot and not sure about getting dimensions

Expert Reply:

You maybe able to locate an axle tag on your axle which will have a serial number that will help to identify the correct size spindle for your Interstate enclosed trailer. Typically enclosed trailers of your size will use a drop spindle like the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU87FR which is designed for 3,500lb axles. If you have a torsion style axle it will likely need a Spindle # TRU74FR but would have to verify with existing axle if you cannot find a axle tag.
