Round trailer axle beam measures 89" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 74" from spring center to spring center. EZ-Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).

Specs:
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.
Another helpful measurement to have is the flange-to-flange (C) length, which is measured from the outside of one brake flange to the outside of the one opposite. This length may be easy to obtain if you are replacing an axle, but it's important to note that this measurement is not the preferred method for determining which axle will best fit your trailer.
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.
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. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy 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.

Round trailer axle beam measures 89" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 74" from spring center to spring center. EZ-Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).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.
Axle arrived in perfect condition, was also an exact fit for my Top Hat Trailer. Your staff was of great help finding my right axle. I would recommend etrailer to everyone.
Kenneth - 11/04/2018very pleased with this product .precise measurements .arrived in a timely manner.top notch quality .would definatly buy from etrailer again
Great service as always out of etrailer. I ordered 2 new axles for my car carrier, great specs on your webpage made for a perfect match. Items arrived in 3 days, heavily wrapped and will add that the end of the axles which could rust if not installed soon were covered in grease, a nice touch to insure no damage. Thanks as always for having a great source for all things trailers!...

Product was exactly as described and of good quality. Will certainly use etrailer again for my trailer needs.
Fast shipping, great communication about shipping. Perfect fit for utility trailer, just what I needed. Thank you!
Duane - 01/21/2021Great product. Still work great after one year of use.
Great help with making sure that I purchased the correct axle for my application.very good service and fast shipping. Will use etrailer for all axle purchases in the future.
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.
I'm very pleased with all of my purchases from eTrailer. Everything has seemed to be of excellent quality and value. The wiring kits and directions were very well thought out and one of the projects I completed would not have been possible had it not been for the excellent videos on the website. I'm an eTrailer customer for life!
Etrailer totally shocked me on their fast response and keeping me updated on the order status and shipping it out on the same day. I chose to Expedite my order for the 2 day shipping. I was thinking it would be here on Monday, but I got it on Saturday!!! I know who to order all my trailer parts from now... Etrailer!
My utility trailer bearings locked up and welded to the spindle, along with the seal. Repair would have cost as much as a new axle. Ordered this axle Thursday night around 10pm, Arrived Saturday morning around 10am. They were running a special and regular shipping was free but I paid for 2nd day delivery which was discounted. Actual product was as described, wrapped well end to end with rubber protectors over spindles. Installation was a snap and took about 20 minutes start to finish with no help. Still waiting on hubs to be delivered but I am expecting the axle to do what it is supposed to. I will definitely use etrailer again, and should I need another axle, I wouldn't think twice about ordering this one again. Excellent business with an excellent product.
Local supplier said this part was not available for months, E trailer delivered in a few days.
Personal service was great. Received a call regarding an address issue; person from etrailer wanted to make sure address was correct prior to shipping. This ensured order received without delay. Axels are a perfect fit; on-line videos for installation are very helpful. All your videos are well done; informative and helpful. Prices were better than any local suppliers in the area. I still trade with local businesses, but for large purchases I go to etrailer. The seal puller is a must have tool, works great!!
Work well, only concern is the curve to the axle, doesn't straighten out even when trailer is fully loaded, which might cause more rapid tire wear. Only put 1500 miles on so far so too soon to tell.
Service really doesn’t exist anymore, however these guys are good. The trailer company wanted to charge me over 1K! Watching the videos and talking to the guys I got the confidence to do it on my own. Super easy! I’m back hauling construction debris. Oh, and I will never haul 8 yards of top soil ever again!
Mike L - 03/13/2018The axel I bought was of good quality, cheaper than buying a local, and the shipping was free! I wish the website would have prompted me to buy the extra items I needed. Example: bolts and plates to attach the axle to the spring. Bolts for the brake assembly, wheels, tires, Springs etc. I did not need all those things but it would be nice to have them pop up as choices.
I received the axle in good shape to anyone reading this check your bearings I bought this boat used apparently the bearings were already gone when I filled it with grease you don't want to replace this axle my bass boat has been down for a month and a half excellent customer service from Missouri to NorCal but they know what they're talking about
Great experience with etrailer.......life long customer.... customer service is over the top.....even for someone with no experience...... I ordered the wrong parts and team etrailer pointing Menon the right direction and kept me on track....
Lent my double axle utility trailer to a friend. He must have hit curb or something and bent front axle. I did measurements and ordered exact replacement. Fit perfect and has been performing very well.
Fit was perfect, pulls straight, tires are wearing evenly Thanks
Excellent service from tech on what l needed to replace old axle and matching orginal hubs. Promised receiving date was on the money. Great prices compared to other stores. Would reccomend Etrailer to anyone searching for trailer parts.
Was badly in need of new axles for my enclosed Carson trailer. Found the dexter replacements on the etrailers easy to use website. They were a perfect fit!
Shipping was very fast. I was able to get my trailer back on the road quickly. The Axles were in great shape when they arrived, no damage to the packaging. Good quality and exact fit measurements were supplied. I expect to get many years of service from these axles.
Delivered in 3 days. I used my old hubs and fit like it’s supposed too. Awesome product.
