How do I identify my axle?
“In the unlikely event that you should require service assistance from Dexter, please have the lot (serial) number of the axle available when you call.”
View in the company profileWhy are some axles bent in the middle?
“The upward bend in the axle is called "camber." Camber is the angular relationship of the wheel to the road surface in the vertical plane. Axles are typically built with a pre-determined bend in the tube that compensates for the expected deflection under load.”

“The Dexter® MH (mobile home) type axle is designed for limited usage in the delivery of manufactured homes and has a one-time limit use. The axle has steel forged spindles that are not precision ground.”
View in the company profileWhat type of axle warranty does Dexter® Axle offer?
“All Dexter<sup>®</sup> Axle Company (“Dexter”) trailer axles manufactured on or after September 1, 2016, excluding Dexter 6000 series Manufactured Housing Axles include Dexter's five (5) or ten (10) year warranty.”
View in the company profileCan axles be used without suspensions?
“Axle capacity will be reduced by at least 50% when used without a suspension system (axles or stubs attached directly to the vehicle frame). This is NOT a recommended configuration as it transfers load directly to the frame rails and is a very harsh ride.”
