Replacement Axle, Hubs, and Leaf Springs for 2003 Stratos 185
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 04/23/2025
Question:
I have a 2003 stratos 185. The trailer says model 1872D I am looking to replace the axle, hubs, and leaf springs. What’s my best option? I believe my leaf springs on 72 not 74 but could be measuring wrong.

Hi Jeremy; can you send me a picture of your axle tag? Assuming the axle manufacturer is still around that is the easiest way to identify a replacement. If it is missing or worn, you will need to measure. I'm going to need to know the capacity, length (hub face measurement), and spring center measurement. Then for the leaf springs you can get the flat measurement which will be the most accurate.
I attached two help articles below. One shows how to measure your axle and the other shows how to measure leaf springs. If you can reply below with this information I will be happy to see what we have. If you have a picture of the axle tag you will have to reply to the email with the link for this page and attach it.
