Hub/Spindle Components

Wheel Components by Function

We carry a wide range of trailer wheel components ideal for your repair and replacement projects. Selecting a component based on its function can be one of the quickest ways to find a compatible option for your trailer.

Securing the Hub

Get the parts you need to securely fasten the entire wheel assembly to the spindle. We offer high-quality hub components, including grease and oil seals. These seals are designed to keep grease in while also keeping dirt and moisture out. We offer components that cater to varying hub capacities, including 8K-capacity trailer hubs. If you have a Dexter 84 spindle, you can find a solution with a 3.5K-capacity trailer hub.

Protecting Your Spindle

For protecting your spindle, we have a line of spindle washers and nuts. Our spindle washers are engineered to evenly distribute the load while protect the outer bearing, helping to prevent wear on internal hub components.

We have specialized washers, such as the D-shaped washer, which enables exact alignment, preventing the washer from rotating on its own. With steel construction, these washers can withstand wear and tear even in demanding applications.

At Blueswift Axles, we also offer spindle nuts, which are essential for keeping your hubs fastened to the trailer. We have castellated spindle nuts that can be threaded onto axles of up to 8,000 pounds. These fasteners are compatible with a wide range of trailer spindles.

3 Essential Tips for Hub Maintenance

Your hub and spindle are essential to the functionality of your trailer wheels. Use these maintenance tips to support peak performance:

1. Service components regularly: Maintenance is crucial for identifying potential repairs before they lead to downtime. Regularly inspecting your trailer’s hub and bearing for signs of wear, such as wobble or grinding noises, will help you spot and replace components before they lead to failure.
2. Replace seals during service: Grease and oil seals are single-use components. Once they are removed, don’t reuse them as it could compromise their ability to provide a watertight seal.
3. Use the correct lubrication: Not all grease is suitable for wheel bearings. These components are exposed to extreme heat that can cause normal grease to thin out. For bearings, ensure that you have high-quality, high-temperature grease that can maintain its viscosity even in high-heat and friction environments, protecting your wheel bearings from wear and tear.
