Inspection, Service & Maintenance 2K-8K DEXTER AXLE ALIGNMENT Axle Alignment – Alignment can be determined by measuring from the center of the coupler to the center of each end of the axles. The difference should not vary 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 end centers of the other axle must not vary more than 1/8”. How to measure: 1. Park trailer on level surface. 2. Measure from the center of the coupler to spindle center on each side. To Simplify the process, plumb lines may be dropped from the coupler and from the center line of each spindle end. Measurements “A” and “B” can then be tapped on the floor to eliminate any miss measurement due to sagging of the tape for long measurements. Compare A and B measurements. (see Figure 1) 3. Measure the distances “C” and “D” between the front and rear tandem axles. These distances must be within 1/8” of each other. 158 4. Measure from the center of the coupler to the front hanger bolt on each side of trailer. 5. Measure from the front hanger bolt to the equalizer center bolt on each side of trailer. 6. Measure from the equalizer center bolt to the rear hanger bolt on each side of trailer. (Measure according to the number of axles on trailer.)
