Introduction
This manual is designed to provide information for you to
understand, use, maintain, and service your trailer running
gear system. Your axles are manufactured by Dexter Axle.
Since 1960, Dexter’s experience in the design, testing,
and manufacturing of trailer axles has resulted in the most
complete product line in the industry. The Dexter running
gear system consists of axles, suspensions, and braking
systems which are engineered to provide you the finest
towing and stopping performance available today.
Two Dexter philosophies are at work to provide you the best
product available and have enabled us to maintain our
position of leadership. First, we operate on the theory that
“there is always a better way” for a product to operate, to
be manufactured, and/ or to be serviced. We are constantly
striving to find that better way.
Secondly, we maintain wall-to-wall production control so
that all the major components of your running gear system
are manufactured in Dexter facilities under our strict quality
control standards. These manufactured components include
axle beams, hubs, drums, spindles, and braking systems, as
well as the components used in the attachment of the axle
to the chassis. Dexter has the most complete, state-of-theart
manufacturing facilities which enable us to provide you,
the trailer owner, with the finest product possible.

Important Safety Notice
Appropriate service methods and repair procedures are
essential for the safe, reliable operation of all running gear
as well as the personal safety of the individual doing the
work. This manual provides general directions for performing
service and repair work with tested, effective techniques.
Following these guidelines will help assure reliability.
There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques,
tools, parts for servicing axles, as well as in the skill of the
individual doing the work. This manual cannot possibly
anticipate all such variations and provide advice or cautions
as to each. Anyone who departs from the instructions
provided in this manual must first establish that they neither
compromise their personal safety nor the vehicle integrity by
their choice of methods, tools, or parts.
Refer to your vehicle manufacturer’s owners manual for
additional procedures, techniques, and warnings prior to
performing any maintenance or repairs.

DEXTER
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to
potential injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow
this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Installation
To assure safe operation and maximum durability of parts
such as brake linings and tires, it is necessary to position
and install the axle properly. It is recommended that the
axle assembly be installed so that camshafts rotate in the
same direction as the wheels. Installation in which the
camshaft rotation is opposite that of wheel rotation could
cause noisy brakes, chatter, and wheel “hop”. With this
thought in mind, the axle should be ordered with placement
of air chamber and slack adjuster assemblies that will
ensure the correct directional rotation of the camshafts
when the axle is installed.
It is the responsibility of the axle installer to adjust the
brakes properly. The recommended adjustment procedure is
covered in the section pertaining to brakes.
Responsibility for proper axle alignment lies with the axle
installer. The axle must be installed so that it will be parallel
to the drive axle(s) of the tractor. This will allow good vehicle
control when cornering, longer tire wear, and it will eliminate
dog tracking. Alignment can be determined by measuring
from the center of the trailer king pin to the center of each
end of the axles. The difference should not vary by more
than 1/16″. In the case of multiple axles, the axles must
also be in line with each other. The difference between the
centers of one axle and the centers of the other axle must
not vary more than 1/a”.

General Welding Recommendations HEAVY DUTY SERVICE MANUAL
22,500-27,500 LBS. AXLE CAPACllY 1##:Jยฎ
DEXTER
Dexter tubular axles are made of high strength steel for
better fatigue life and superior welding qualities. The round
tubular axles provide a uniform section modulus no matter
how the beam is rotated.
Brake spiders are positioned and welded to exacting
specification requirements at our factory. Ring welding the
spider directly to the axle beam provides a higher strength
and more reliable brake attachment over bolt-on versions.
In welding suspension component parts to a Dexter trailer
axle, extreme care must be exercised to obtain correct
location and ensure the spring seat load bearing surfaces
are parallel to each other.
Axle Beam Repair Welding
In the interest of safety and preserving the service life of
trailer axle assemblies, Dexter recommends that trailer axle
beams NOT be repair welded. Repair welding can detract
from the structural integrity of an engineered component,
particularly on heat-treated parts where the benefit of the
processing may be nullified by the welding. Therefore, a new
replacement beam should be installed as soon as possible.
Preheating Recommendations
Absolutely no welding should be done on axles that are
below 50ยฐF. Before welding on suspension components
or any other part onto the axle, the area (within 3″) of the
attachment point should be warmed slowly to between
500-600ยฐF. Immediately after checking the temperature
with an appropriate temperature sensitive crayon, the
part(s) should be tack welded in place. Recheck the
temperature and if below 475ยฐF, reheat to 500-600ยฐF and
complete welding per welding instructions.
Affects of Welding on
Axle Beam Material
All welds made on the beam create, in effect, an extremely
localized heat-treatment of the metal. The heat generated
during the welding process can cause the material in the
HAZ (heat affected zone) to become hardened or brittle.
This effect can impart an undesirable characteristic to
the normally ductile structure. This small hardened area
becomes the weakest part of the beam and therefore is
the area most susceptible to failure. The axle beam is
no stronger than its weakest section. As evident from the
sketch on the next page, the welds should be horizontal
and as near as possible to the front and rear horizontal
center line of the axle beam. Always avoid welds that are
circumferential in nature below the horizontal center line.
Welding Guide
Dexter supplies axles to customers in all stages of assembly
from the beam with spindles only, to the complete axle
assemblies. In the final analysis and with few exceptions,
we have little or no control over later assembly of
incomplete units by the trailer fabricator and, therefore,
we can not be responsible for warranty on improperly
processed components.
Stress of Axle Beams
The main loaded stresses on a beam are expressed as
three primary stress zones. The compression stress zone
(top side), the tension stress zone (bottom side), and the
neutral stress zone (front and rear horizontal center line
commonly referred to as the neutral axis).
Vertical —~
Centerline
Neutral
Axis
COMPRESSION SIDE
Horizontal
Centerline
TENSION SIDE
The above is a graphic representation of the degrees of
stress in the wall of the tube when the beam is under load.
The length of the arrows “X” represents the amount of stress
at a given point. From this illustration, it is evident that the
two opposite stresses diminish as the horizontal center line
of the beam is approached.
In addition, the torsional stress imparted by braking action
of the wheels is taken into consideration in rating the axle
capacity. An allowance of both stresses bending (beam
load) and torsional are factored into the calculations to
provide an acceptable design factor. The stresses are
reapplied and reversed many times during normal axle
beam life. For this reason, the beam material must have
certain properties such as impact strength, that permit it to
absorb shock, to flex, and then to resume its original and
normal “as manufactured” condition.
When welding, it is necessary to avoid the high stress areas
on the tube top side (compression zone) and tube bottom
side (tension zone). All welds should be made as close to
the horizontal center line as possible. When the axle tube is

OPERATIONS,
subjected to the heat from welding and then rapid cooling,
the material adjacent to the weld loses it’s desirable ductile
properties and becomes brittle. If this condition exists in the
high stress areas under maximum load conditions, the life
of the axle will be greatly reduced and premature fatigue
failure can occur. Recommended locations for the welds are
shown below.
Spring Seat Placement and Location
One of the most critical and important phases of vehicle
fabrication is the placement, location, and attachment of
spring seats on the axle.
“Overhang” is defined as axle track minus spring center
dimension divided by two:
T-S.C.
2
The maximum spring center is calculated such that
recommended inside of tire or drum clearance to vehicle
frame is achieved.
Permanent deformation and/or premature failure of the axle
may result if the spring centers are too narrow.

The welding rods should conform to AWS (American Welding
Society), grade E-7O18 (Oven-Dried) or comparable.
Recommended rod size is o/32″ at voltage and amperage
recommended by the electrode manufacturer. For maximum
strength, a three-pass weld should be used. The arc should
not be broken at the end of each pass and the corners should
be wrapped. The electrode should be backed up to fill in the
crater at the end of each pass. If the arc is broken between
passes, thoroughly clean the weld between each pass.

โข American Welding Society
CAUTION
Do not bring axles in from non-heated storage and weld while
cold. Do not “test the arc” on the axle beam.
Fillets up to ยฝ” can be used. Maximum gap .030 inch.
The attachments should fit-up as close to the beam as
possible to avoid excessive welding. Electrical grounding to
the axle for welding purposes, should be done on one of the
attachments such as the air chamber bracket, cam support,
or brake spider. Connections should be clean and tight.
Loose or dirty connections will cause arcing at that point
during welding. These small arced areas can create the
potential for failure in highly stressed structures. Therefore,
grounding should never be done directly on the axle tube.
Never attach the ground to an area that would allow the
ground path to pass through the spindles, bearings, hub, or
wheel components.
CAUTION
To provide optimum suspension-to-tube welds, preheating is
recommended. Preheating will minimize loss of the ductile
properties in the weld area by slowing the rate of cooling,
thus reducing the formation of an untempered martensitic
grain structure adjacent to the weld. Martensite, a brittle
grain structure, is formed by the rapid cooling of the metal
surrounding the weld area. Preheat the suspension seat weld
area to 500-600ยฐ F prior to welding. Preheated temperature
should be verified with a temperature sensitive crayon or
appropriate means.
The above welding recommendation pertains to all Dexter
Axle Company axle beams. Unapproved variation from the
procedures listed will void the axle warranty and could
result in an unsafe weld.

Wheel Bearings
Periodic inspection and regular replacement of lubricant is
important to obtain maximum bearing life. Always inspect
bearings for damage prior to installation. When installing
wheel bearings, it is important to ensure both the inside of
the wheel hub cavity, bearings and grease cap are clean. It
is also recommended that seals be replaced when wheel
hubs have been removed for service. EXTREME CARE
SHOULD BETAKEN WHEN REINSTALLING WHEEL HUBS
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SEALS. DO NOT CONTACT
RUBBER SEALING LIP WITH THE SPINDLE THREADS.
Grease Lubrication
Grease should be replaced every 12,000 miles or 12
months. Prior to repacking bearings, all old grease should
be removed from the wheel hub cavity and bearings.
Bearings should be packed by machine. If machine is
unavailable, packing by hand method is acceptable. The
method to pack bearing cones is as follows:
1. Place a quantity of grease onto
the palm of your hand.
2. Press a section of the widest
end of bearing into the outer
edge of the grease pile closest
to the thumb, forcing grease
into the interior of the bearing
between two adjacent rollers.
3. Repeat this while rotating the bearing from roller to
roller.
4. Continue this process until you have the entire
bearing completely filled with grease.
5. Before reinstalling, apply a light coat of grease onto
the bearing cup mating surface.

rotating the hub to ensure proper seating of the
bearings, cups and seal in the wheel hub.
&CAUTION
You must follow the maintenance procedures to prevent
damage to important structural components. Damage to
certain structural components such as wheel bearings can
cause the wheel end to come off of the axle. Loss of a wheel
end while the trailer is moving can cause you to lose control
and lead to an accident, which can result in serious injury or
death.

Brake Adjustment Procedure
1. Grease cam bracket and spider fittings.
CAUTION
Care must be exercised to prevent grease from coming in
contact with brake linings which could result in reduced
braking performance.
2. Adjust the slack adjuster until the brake lining comes
into contact with the brake drum.
A. For green brakes*, there should be a slight amount
of wheel drag at initial adjustment to compensate
for any lining irregularities (high spot, etc.)
B. For burnished or broken-in brakes, back off the
slack adjuster to achieve .030″ clearance between
drum and shoes.
3. Apply brakes using normal truck operating pressure
(average line pressure should be 90 psi.).
&CAUTION
USE OF AIR PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF 130 PSI COULD
RESULTIN FAILURE OFTHE AIR CHAMBER OR SPRING BRAKE
CHAMBER AND RESULT IN INJURY.
A. Check the amount of push rod travel. Maximum
should not exceed 2″ for Type 30 chambers and
1 ยพ” for Type 24 chambers.
1) Optimum push rod travel on a green brake*
should be under 2″.
2) Optimum push rod travel on a burnished or
broken-in brake should be under 1 ยพ”.
B. With air pressure applied to brakes, check
for lining to drum contact. The contact should
approach 100%. Use a .010″ feeler gauge if in
doubt. It should not fit between the lining and
drum during brake application.
C. Check to ensure the lining is inside the drum
during application. More than .06″ hanging out of
the drum is not recommended.
4. Release air pressure from the brakes and confirm that
all brakes release to the normal relaxed position.
*Note: A “green brake” is an unground, unburnished
brake. Normal manufacturing tolerances dictate that
there is a break-in period required after which the

lining will seat into a perfect concentric situation.
During this break-in period, the user must be aware
that additional brake adjustments will be mandatory
to achieve optimum braking performance.

Installation
Responsibility for proper axle alignment lies with the axle
installer. The axle must be installed so that it will be parallel
to the drive axle(s) of the tractor. This will allow good vehicle
control when cornering, longer tire wear, and it will eliminate
dog tracking. Alignment can be determined by measuring
from the center of the trailer king pin to the center of each
end of the axles. The difference should not vary by more
than ยฝs”. In the case of multiple axles, the axles must
also be in line with each other. The difference between the
centers of one axle and end centers of the other axle must
not vary more than 1/s”.
it CAUTION
Safety glasses should be worn at all times when assembling or
dlsassembllng axles and their components.
Dexter tubular axles are made of high strength steel for
better fatigue life and superior welding qualities. The round
tubular axles provide a uniform section modulus no matter
how the beam is rotated.
Brake spiders are positioned and welded to specific
requirements at our factory. Welding the spider directly to
the axle beam provides a higher strength and more reliable
brake attachment over bolt-on versions.
In welding suspension components to a Dexter trailer
axle, extreme care must be exercised to obtain correct
location and ensure the spring seat load bearing surfaces
are parallel to each other. Any welding of additional
attachments to the axle should be approved by Dexter’s
engineering department.
Alignment
For safe and efficient trailer operation, to prevent excessive
tire wear off-tracking and hard pulling, it is recommended
Before taking axle alignment measurements, make sure the
trailer is unloaded and free the suspension of any binds by
pushing the trailer backwards and then pulling the trailer
forward. While pulling the trailer forward on a level floor, apply
the brakes and release. This will ensure that an adjustable
undercarriage is in its rearmost lock position. The trailer MUST
be level from side to side as well as from front to rear.
Note: Neither service nor parking brakes should be applied
during the measurement procedure.
Ensure the king pin or coupler is at the correct height.
Use axle end extenders (or remove outer wheels and any
obstructions) to achieve a straight line for measuring from
king pin to the axle ends or axle centers.
Proper tools for axle alignment inspection are:
Spring loaded kingpin extender with level or plumbob.
Axle end extenders.
50 foot steel tape.
Optional; adjustable tram.
A means to measure axle center to axle center.
Optional; Extra adjustable track arm (rod) clamp bolts
if required.

that after a short break-in period you have a qualified trailer Measuring
mechanic check the alignment. See Figure 2.
To align a four (4) spring suspension, the track arms need
to be adjusted. There is one adjustable track arm (rod) on
each axle; typically on the road (left) side.
Loosen the clamp nuts at each end of the adjusting bolt so
the adjusting rod can rotate (see Figure 1). Align front axle
with the king pin or coupler and adjust rear axle parallel
to the front axle. Be sure to secure the clamps on the
adjustable track arm after alignment (see Figure 1).
1. Lateral Centerline (E). Determine lateral centerline
of trailer body and axles by measuring distance E
between trailer and axle centerlines first, and correct
so that distance E is ยผ” or less for each axle.
2. Thrust Angle (A, B). Measure distances A (curbside)
then B (roadside) from the king pin or coupler to the
front of the axle extension or axle centers. These must

be equal to within 0.1 degree or 1/s” of each other {A
= B ยฑ 1/s”). Ensure the lateral tension {pulling force)
applied to the measuring tape is the same for both A
and B measurements. Use a tensioning device scale
or optical {laser) to ensure accuracy.
3. Scrub Angle (C, D). Measure distances C {curbside)
then D {roadside) between axles, measuring from
front of axle extension to front of axle extension, or
axle center to center. Adjust the rear axle so it aligns
to the front axle. These also must be equal to within
ยผs” of each other {C = D ยฑ ยผs”). This measurement
should be as close to zero as possible. The smaller
the offset, the lower the rolling resistance and the
better the fuel economy.

Additional Suspension
Maintenance Check
Track arms should be checked for clearance. If slack is found,
it should be repaired immediately since this indicates that
there is wear in the rubber bushing or track arm parts. Check
the adjustable track arm clamps for proper torque. Loose
clamps will cause wear on the adjusting threads and the
suspension cannot be kept in alignment. On leaf spring type
suspensions, have the trailer checked for axle alignment after
two to three thousand miles.
Check leaf springs for broken leaves. Replace broken
leaves immediately to prevent the other leaves from being
overloaded. On taper leaf springs, be sure the plastic liner
is serviceable and on top of the spring. The liners between
leaves should be in place and serviceable.
Suspension Torque Requirements
CAUTION
Before torquing equalizer bolts, level equalizers parallel to
main frame members. After lnltlal break-In period (up to 1,000
mlles) and at least every 4 months thereafter; all bolts and
nuts should be checked to ensure recommended torque Is
being maintained.
Adjusting Torque Values for Bolts
1. Loosen the adjustable track rod clamp bolts {Figure (With Clean Dry Threads)
1) and turn the center rod to adjust as necessary per
above.
2. After adjusting, tighten the adjustable track rod
clamp nuts {Figure 1) to proper torque. Recheck
measurements and readjust as needed.
Precautions
1. Always measure to the front axle ends for accurate
alignment.
2. Avoid measuring to rims, suspension brackets, hub
cap, vent holes, brake drums, etc. This can result in
improper alignment. For accurate measurements, use
axle extenders.
3. Always align any succeeding axles with the front axle,
not to the kingpin or coupler.
