Axle Dimensions
There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).
The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.
If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.
E-Z Lube Spindles Make Lubrication Simple
The E-Z Lube spindles on this axle are meant to work with E-Z Lube-compatible hubs to make lubricating your bearings quick and easy. Each E-Z Lube spindle has a zerk fitting on the end. And every E-Z Lube hub comes with a grease cap that has an easy-to-remove rubber plug. Just pop out the plug on the cap to access the zerk on the spindle. When you inject grease into the zerk with a grease gun, the grease will flow to both the inner and outer bearings of the hub, lubricating the bearings and forcing out old, ineffective grease. Once you see new grease beginning to be pushed out, you know that your bearings are fully lubricated. This means that you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
Dexter Axles
Dexter axles are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. This axle is also built with drop spindles, which will lower the ride height of your trailer to allow for easier loading and unloading.
Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.

I received the items in a very timely fashion and in great shape. I torched off the old U bolts and removed the axle. I removed the new spring seats using a cut off wheel in my grinder and moved them inward one inch on each side, then MIG weld the new ones on they lined up perfectly to the old ones. I then installed the new U bolt kit and torqued them down to 65 foot lbs. The old bearings were only one year old and reused them after cleaning. I installed new seals at this time. The brake pads were same age as bearings showing little wear. The old axles were not Dexter axles and rusted from the inside out then broke off by the drop.. I replaced both. Was a pleasant experience and would do it all over again.

I build custom trailers. I have been doing so for 50+ years. etrailer has consistently been the second cheapest supplier of axles, springs, hangers, hubs, and etc. that we have been able to locate. When you see the difference in quality that etrailer has you'll be buying the second cheapest too! These guys only offer one kind of quality - the EXCELLENT kind. Of the 8 or so trailers that I have in the road 24/7; 100% of them were made from etrailer components! Highly recommended!

Review from a similar EZ Lube Axle in Trailer Axles
Specs. matched exact to the broken axle and was easy to install. I was surprised that the axle was pre-wired although it was not replacement of the brake axle on my trailer. Hub fit nicely and trailer is now ready for the next haul job. Delivery was as promised.
Comments
The axle has been a good replacement and has worked as it should.

Review from a similar EZ Lube Axle in Trailer Axles
After a rust related axle failure, my equipment trailer was down. (If you roll in the rust belt, check your axles near where the brake wire goes through) After checking my local source, I was told there was a long lead time for new axles due to the pandemic. I was so happy to find etrailer. They had the exact axles I needed. After I pulled the axles I realized I also needed hardware and u-bolts. Everything arrived ahead of schedule, allowing me to get back up and running quickly. Thank you etrailer. You are a valuable resource.

Review from a similar EZ Lube Axle in Trailer Axles
etrailer had the best prices and excellent customer service, Thanks Ian! Shipping was fast and free to boot. I bent the front axle on my in-laws fifth wheel camper and this axle fit the bill. I had to order a set of spring seats and weld them to the opposite sides. The original seats were at 68.5 " centers and that configuration was unavailable anywhere.

Review from a similar EZ Lube Axle in Trailer Axles
Trailer axel fit properly without issues to replace an axel that broke probably from heavy loads on very potted country roads. So far this axel has held up and performed beautifully. Provided instructions and videos very helpful including information to select correct replacement axel. These folks go out of their way to help ensure correct installation and use. Far better than any other supplies I have used.

So far it is holding up well and working as anticipated.

Review from a similar EZ Lube Axle in Trailer Axles
Perfect fit, nice axle and fast delivery. I liked it so much I ordered another a day later to replace the front axle. My 30 yr old tandem trailer's axle broke at the wheel, so I went to a local store which doesn't stock them anymore. Could of ordered a so so axle for $94 + $28 shipping and wait 2 weeks but needed it fast. I went to a major trailer sales & service shop and told "maybe we could get one for $250" with no call back. I decided to check out etrailer and was surprised to see Dexter axles that fit my trailer for $140 with FREE shipping in 3-4 days! Ordered Sat. night, got it Wednesday afternoon, and installed it (with brakes) in an hour. Only problem I had was determining if spindles would fit my hubs. They stated "1/16th spindle" and must be industry talk but french to me. So I had to look up bearing #'s they listed to check bearing sizes to make sure they fit my hubs. A little more time but not a deal breaker. The best part was the huge difference in ride with just one new axle. Always had bouncing loaded or not, but now with just one axle the ride is smoother no load and with my 4000 lb tractor on it. Can't wait to get the 2nd axle on that arrived today. First two pics show the difference between the old straight axle and the new dexter axle. The third is a pic of my 2nd axle, oh well. Etrailer is my new go to place for trailer parts. I have 7 trailers.

Review from a similar EZ Lube Axle in Trailer Axles
I inherited an aluminum trailer that ended up needing a complete overhaul and etrailer was the best resource I could have found. After researching extensively to find out what I needed and watching their videos on how to do it I ended up ordering an EZ-lube axle, galvanized hubs, springs and a hanger kit (in other words everything from the frame down). Everything shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. All the parts worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier!

Mission accompolished just a few minutes ago. The attached (3) images attached tell the story.

Again your technical assistance and quick order leave me a very very satisfied customer.. [Thumbs up]

- Looking For Replacement Trailer Axles With 70 Inch Spring Center and 85 Inch Hub Face SpacingWe carry a Dexter 6K axle that comes very close to the measurements you specified. The # 8327826-EB has an 86-1/2 inch hub face to hub face dimension, which means it would only be 3/4 of an inch longer on each side which should still work well for you. The spring seats are 71-1/2 inches apart, but they could easily be removed and new ones could be tacked in place using part # TRSS300 which are sold individually. The # 8327826-EB comes complete with electric brake assemblies and a hub/drum...
view full answer... - Recommendation to Replace Trailer Axle with 70" Spring Center and 85-1/2" Hub Face Length I do have a potential option for your trailer, however we do not have any standard axles that match the spring center and hub face lengths on your existing unit. If you don't want to go through a local trailer shop or fabricator to obtain a matching thru axle, I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Axle-Less System instead. These use independent suspension components that will install on any frame width and usually eliminate the need for a thru-axle altogether. Because the progressive-rate...
view full answer... - Is the Dexter Drop Tube Trailer Axle Beam Offered with 64 Inch Hub Face and 3,500 Lb Capacity The best option I have for you is the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # A35RD545 which has a built-in drop of 4" and comes with idler hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. In regards to hub face, this can be adjusted to fit any width. The hub face measurement you are looking for of 64" is very uncommon for this axle capacity so we would not have a Dexter Trailer Axle Beam that matches this.

It is not offered with 89" between each hub face and 70-1/2" long between each spring center because the spring seats can be moved. The spring seats for this axle can be moved to a minimum of 75" apart and a maximum of 71" apart. Since you only need to go in 1/4" more on either side I would say you are fine to move the spring seats on...

- Recommended Replacement 5,200 lb Axle with 89 Inch LengthTraditionally it is not a 5,000 lb axle but rather a 5,200 lb axle. There are two 89 inch hub face to hub face options we carry, they both have 74 inch spring seat centers, but one comes with the electric brakes and hubs and the other is just the axle. If you will use electric brakes, I recommend going with the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" - 5,200 lb # 8327820-EB. If you will use hydraulic brakes then I recommend instead using the...

The closest axle in terms of spring centers is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 86-1/2" - 6K # 8327826-EB and has 71" spring center to spring center.

This axle has the same hub face length of 89" and drop of 4" that you were looking for. The spring center is set at 74" yes but you can move these inward to match your 70" spring center no problem. In regards to shape, square vs round this will also not be an issue. The u-bolts would be different yes but you would need to replace these when removed from the...

This axle is 89" from hub face to hub face and 74" between the centers of the spring seats, which would be the important measurements to match up with...

There is a work around to this but I will need to know what size axle you are needing for your trailer, as I am unable to determine the correct axle based on just the trailer model.

- Can Trailer Brakes be Added to Dexter 3,500 lb Axle with 4 inch DropYes you can add brakes to trailer axles that have a drop built into them like the Dexter # 8327812 which has a 4 inch drop as the axle has mounting flanges for brake assemblies built in to it. You'd want the Dexter brake assembly set part # 23-468-469 which is a set that includes a left and a right assembly that is self adjusting. For a hub/drum that fits both the axle and assemblies you'd want the part # 84546UC3-EZ which has the standard 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

While you were looking for 88" hub face to face, this 89" shouldn't cause any issue and is likely the correct size axle that you were needing since 89" is extremely common. Either way, the 1" difference will not be a problem. For a complete axle and electric brake setup with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern...

The most important thing we need to look for is the hub face as the spring center can then be moved (within a range) if we need to.
