Question:

I have a tandem trailer with mobile home axles. Will the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000- lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized - 8-213- 51UC1 fit on this axle?

For a trailer using mobile home axles you will need the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 52655IEU to go with idler hubs. This will allow you to weld in a new spindle onto your axle tube which will give you the updated common sizes used on regular trailer axles. This has the same 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern as the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly 8-213- 51UC1 which we no longer carry. We do not carry a hub which fits the spindle used on mobile home axles since they were designed to be thrown away when they become damaged or wear out.
