The spindle features a Stainless Steel Wear Sleeve to allow for long term protection for your seal surface. This ensures your seal surface won’t corrode away, meaning it will not pit or rust which would normally lead to letting water into your hub. Dexter Axle spindles also feature an E-Z Lube system, which allows easy greasing and regular maintenance of bearings. The grease travels through the center of the spindle and pushes out the old grease forward towards the front of the hub and out your dust cap, therefore replacing the old grease with new fresh grease. A castle nut and spindle washer are included on each spindle. These Hot-Dipped Galvanized Adjustable Spring Seats mean your axle will last longer, with no holes for saltwater and corrosion to hide. These Galvanized Adjustable Spring seats are included free of charge with the purchase of your axle.

SELECTING THE PROPER TRAILER AXLE
When selecting an axle for your application remember to consider the following important specifications:
-
LOAD CAPACITY: the load rating of the axle must support the maximum gross vehicle weight rating. For multiple axle trailers divide the GVWR by the number of axles to determine the minimum load capacity of each axle.
-
TRACK LENGTH: measure your axle track length by determining the distance between the center of 1 tire to the center of the other tire. A more precise measurement can be made by measuring the distance from 1 ‘HUB FACE’ to the other. The hub face is also known as the mounting surface where the wheel studs are located.
-
SPRING CENTERS: measure the distance from the center of 1 spring to the center of the other.
NOTE: not required for replacement torsion axles -
OVERALL LENGTH: measure the distance from the very end of an axle’s spindle to the very end of the opposite spindle.
-
AXLE STYLE: important when reusing old mounting hardware and also for proper tire clearance. Includes straight axles (round or square), drop axles with offset spindles, and torsion axles. Also consider spindle size when reusing existing hubs or drums.
-
AXLE CAMBER: Most trailer axles are designed with a bend in the tube that will deflect when the load (weight of the trailer) is applied. This will theoretically bring the trailer wheel camber toward a 0 value that is the best setting for most trailer applications. This will allow the tires to wear evenly and allow the longest tread life. Camber can be affected by damage to the axle. For example, if the axle spindle is bent, this will usually cause a negative camber on that side which will cause excess tread wear on the inside of that tire.

– Axle misalignment can result in poor handling and reduced stability. Trailers may become more difficult to control, especially during braking and cornering, posing safety risks.
4. Overloading and Weight Distribution Problems:
– Misalignment can affect weight distribution. It may cause excessive weight on one axle, leading to overloading and potential legal issues. Balanced weight distribution is vital for safe and legal towing.
5. Axle Stress and Damage:
– Misalignment places additional stress on axles and suspension components. Over time, this stress can lead to component damage, potentially causing breakdowns and expensive repairs.
6. Trailer Drift:
– Misalignment can cause the trailer to drift or pull to one side, making it challenging to maintain a straight course, especially when driving at highway speeds.
7. Reduced Tire Lifespan:
– The combination of uneven tire wear, increased rolling resistance, and handling issues can significantly reduce the lifespan of trailer tires. This results in more frequent and costly tire replacements.
8. Safety Concerns:
– A misaligned trailer is less stable and more difficult to control, increasing the risk of accidents and compromising safety.
Alignment Solutions:
– To address axle misalignment, it’s essential to have the trailer inspected by a qualified technician. They can adjust the alignment by modifying the axle’s position and orientation. Precision alignment equipment is often used to ensure accuracy.
– Regular alignment checks and adjustments, as part of routine maintenance, can help prevent these issues and promote even tire wear and better performance.
– Properly aligned axles improve handling, safety, and tire longevity, making it a critical aspect of trailer maintenance.
How do trailer axles contribute to the stability and safety of a trailer?
Trailer axles play a critical role in ensuring the stability and safety of a trailer in various ways:
1. Weight Distribution:
– Trailer axles are strategically positioned to distribute the weight of the trailer and its cargo evenly. Proper weight distribution prevents overloading on one side, reducing the risk of swaying and instability during towing.
2. Load-Bearing Capacity:
– The load-bearing capacity of trailer axles is designed to support the weight of the trailer and its contents. Properly rated axles ensure that the trailer remains stable and doesn’t become overloaded, which can lead to accidents.
3. Handling and Maneuverability:
– The alignment and suspension of trailer axles impact the trailer’s handling and maneuverability. Well-balanced axles and properly adjusted suspension contribute to predictable and safe towing, especially during turns and lane changes.
4. Braking Control:
– Many trailer axles are equipped with braking systems, which enhance the trailer’s braking control. This is crucial for maintaining a safe following distance and preventing rear-end collisions when the towing vehicle brakes.
5. Suspension Systems:
– The suspension system of trailer axles, such as leaf springs or torsion systems, helps absorb shocks and vibrations. This contributes to a smoother ride and reduces the risk of cargo shifting or damage during transit.
6. Tire Stability:
– Trailer axles support the trailer’s tires, ensuring they make even contact with the road surface. This promotes tire stability and longevity, reducing the risk of blowouts or tire-related accidents.
7. Towing Vehicle Compatibility:
– Trailer axles are selected based on the towing vehicle’s capacity. Matching the axle’s capacity to the towing vehicle’s capabilities ensures a safe and stable towing experience.
8. Anti-Sway Mechanisms:
– Some trailer axles incorporate anti-sway mechanisms to reduce trailer sway caused by external factors like wind or uneven road surfaces. These mechanisms enhance safety and control while towing.
9. Compliance with Regulations:
– Trailer axles must meet safety and weight regulations. Ensuring compliance with these standards is crucial for safe and legal trailer operation.
– In summary, trailer axles are integral to the stability and safety of a trailer. Properly maintained and correctly rated axles, along with appropriate suspension and braking systems, are essential for safe towing, preventing accidents, and protecting both the trailer and its cargo.
