Question:
Wondering if you guys have the correct replacement trailer axle I need. I have a 2020 Shorelandr boat trailer. The VIN is 1MDAPAT16LA680210.

Hey Jake, we don't have a way to look up what axle your trailer would need based on just the VIN but we can help you determine what you'd need. We would need to know the distance between the spring seat centers (where it attaches to the trailer frame) and the distance from hub face to hub face as well as the weight capacity of the axle and that's all we'd need to know.

Hey Jake, did you have a chance to find the measurements for the spring seat centers and hub face distances, as well as the axle weight capacity? I'm asking because I want to make sure we get you the right replacement axle for your trailer.
