In order to choose the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; I have added a link below to a video which walks you through how to measure. The other thing you need to know is the weight capacity of the axle you need, which should match or exceed the GVWR of your trailer.
For example, the Trailer Idler Axle Beam # e48GR has a 2,000 lb capacity and measures 60 inches from hub face to hub face and 48 inches from spring center to spring center.
I've added a link below to our selection of axles for you to check out, or if you get back to me with that information I'd be happy to try and find something that will work for you.
