We have a couple options for a 3,500 lb axle that could work on your 1985 Terry Resort Travel Trailer, but they all have the same dimensions that hopefully would match up with what you have.

You will need to measure your axles first though.

The axles we offer are 89 inches from hub face to hub face and 74 inches from spring center to spring center. If your axles match these dimensions the part # T3584F-EZ-8974 would be a great choice for a hubless axle.

If you wanted an axle that came with hub/drums that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the # e43SR.

If you need axles with different dimensions you will need to check with your local trailer shop to have them order you in custom axles that would fit.

Sounds like your current axles don't have the slight bend in them like most modern axles have. It would probably be pretty hard to track down an axle that is totally straight to match your non-damaged axle so I would recommend replacing both axles so that your trailer will sit totally level.
