Axles

How to Measure an Axle

When selecting an axle consider the following points:

1) LOAD CAPACITY: make sure the axle is rated for more than the load you will be carrying. If you have a multiple axle trailer, the load capacity of the axle will be doubled or tripled depending on the amount of axles.

2) OVERALL LENGTH: measure the distance between the ends of both spindles.

3) HUB FACE: is the measurement from one 'hub face' to the other. The hub face is where the rim connects with the hub.

4) SPRING CENTERS: measure the distance from the center of one spring to the center of the other. (You do not need this for torsion axles)

5) AXLE STYLE: This applies if you are reusing old mounting hardware and also for proper tire clearance. Check spindle size.
