The Autoflex-Knott Torsion Axle is rated to 1,500lbs capacity, making it great for smaller boat trailers or jet ski/pwc trailers, and the axle comes with Galvanized 5 Lug Idler hubs pre-installed and pre-greased with lithium based hi temp grease.

The Hub Studs are standard 1/2" Diameter and are in a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern.
This Trailer Torsion Axle Measures 53 inches at the hub face (outside of hub to the outside of the other hub) and is designed to fit a 46 inch wide trailer frame. The Torsion arms are installed at a 30 degree down starting angle, and the greaseable spindles feature 2-hole brake flanges (2 7/8" center to center) so you can install hydraulic disc or drum brakes to your trailer.
