    1 answer

    1. This axle set will work with any 4 or 5 lug hub that has 1 1/16 inch inner and outer bearings. This will accept any size rim/tire that has a 4 or 5 lug bolt pattern. See below for my suggestions for hubs.

  6. What is the hole diameter for the stub axle?

    With the stub axle removed, what is the ID of the mounting hole in the suspension arm? I want to install my own axles to use with non-standard wheels and I need to know what that bore diameter is.

    1 answer

    1. The spindle on this torsion axle is seated in a tapered hole on the suspension arm. The front side of the hole (where the spindle comes out) is 1.489" in diameter. The rear side of the hole (the castle nut side) is 1.281" in diameter.

  7. Which hubs will work with this axle

    Most of your hubs have 1" inner and outer bearing size. These new torsion axles have 1 1/16" inner and outer bearing size. Are there hubs available for the new sizes.

    1 answer

    1. Northern Tool carries both 4 and 5 stud hubs that have 1-1/16" inner and outer bearings. Click the links below to view those hubs.

  8. When loaded to rated capacity, how much of the listed travel remains?

    1 answer

    1. The Ultra-Tow Stub Torsion Axles travel at rated capacity will vary depending on the start angle it is mounted at. For example: at -30 degrees down for high bracket profile it would be 2.87 inches, at low bracket profile it would be 2.04 inches and at -25 degrees down in would be 1.52 inches at low profile and 2.35 inches at high profile.

  9. Mounting Bolt pattern and width

    What is the mounting bolt pattern where this will bolt to the frame? In planning the trailer, how wide of mounting area will I need to bolt this axle to the frame?

    1 answer

    1. These stub torsion axles have mounting plates that measures 8" L x 5" W. The distance between the holes on the long side(hole pattern that runs parallel to the spindle/shaft) are 3" on center. The distance between the other holes(pattern that runs perpendicular to the spindle) is 3-3/4" on center.
