Questions

1–10 of 25 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. Which hubs, in the catalog, fit these axles? None are rated at 2000 lbs.

    1. Each axle is rated for only 1000# with the pair having a rating of 2000# so you would only need a hub rated at least 1000# to maximize the loading capabilities

      Helpful?

    2. The Reliable axle spindles require a hub with both an inner and outer bearing of 1" diameter. See the recommendations below...

      Helpful?

  2. Can you weld on the square tube To Mount this axle ? Or just the pad ?

    1 answer

    1. This torsion axle should be bolted to frame of the trailer. Any welding would cause damage to the rubber torsion part of the axle.

  3. What offset wheels can be used on the spindle?

    Assuming the use of an Ultra-Tow High Speed Hub, what offset wheel can be used with this configuration?

    1 answer

    1. At Northern Tool we do not sell any offset wheels, the ones we sell are centered. For this reason I can not recommend a pair of offset wheels to fit this spindle.

      Helpful?

  4. What is the distance from the trailer mount to center of the spindle with no load and loaded?

    1 answer

    1. On these rubber torsion axles it is 6 1/16" from torsion bar center to spindle center.

      Helpful?

  5. Can these be used simultaneously on an axle that is also a drive axle? Can wheels that are suspended using rubber torsion be powered?

    1 answer

    1. These torsion axles are designed to be use on trailers and cannot be used for drive axles.

      Helpful?

  6. How many are in a package?

    Is that one pair for the price?

    Also, if they can handle 2000 lbs a pair then two pair is 4000 lbs. My race car and trailer only weigh 3700 total. Could I use the stubby axles on a trailer with this weight?

    1 answer

    1. The Reliable rubber torsion axle suspension units are sold as a pair.

      Two pair rated at 2000 pounds a pair would equal 4000 pounds capacity and if your trailer is only 3700 pounds total weight then that would be under the capacity and therefore would work.

      Helpful?

  7. Are these suitable for use on my boat trailer in salt water?

    1 answer

    1. The Reliable Rubber Torsion Axle Suspension Units are not designed for use in salt water. Unfortunately, we do not sell any at this time.

      Helpful?

  8. Angle deflection

    The starting angle is 45 what angle is the arm when fully loaded?

    1 answer

    1. The fully loaded angle is 45 degrees.

      Helpful?

  9. Do you sell a mechanical drum brake for this axle stub??

    1 answer

    1. We do not currently offer a drum brake kit that would work on these suspension components.

      Helpful?

  10. What is the distance from the center of the tube to the center of the spindle (swing radius)?

    1 answer

    1. The length of travel is 2 1/2".
