Question:
Hello, I’m needing an axle for my trailer and I’m unsure of which to buy. Am I able to tell which one I need by a label on the trailer? It’s a bear boat trailer.

Hey Stephen, yest typically on a trailer axle tag the correct info needed to pick out a replacement is listed. Sometimes it's harder to decipher but the numbers should be there. What you are looking for is the hub face to hub face length, distance between spring seats and the capacity. Those numbers might be abbreviated as HF and SC. You also need to know the capacity.
