Recommended site for ordering axle online

[ThomasE]

Greetings folks, I'm researching where I can get a quote and order a Dexter axle online. I have inside wear on the street side tire, and that side has always ridden lower than the passenger side, plus things really get tossed around on rough roads and I'd like to get these issues addressed. The axle is original on my 2000 Burro.

Can any of you recommend an online site that I can get some quotes or put in an order? Thanks.... Tom

If you want to go with a Flexiride adjustable axle, that's what I used on my 1977 13' Scamp.

Here's the quote sheet: https://canadianaxle.com/request-a-quote/

I'm attaching the build-sheet for MY camper. You will need to measure your own to get the correct dimensions.

Mine was US$800 including shipping a year ago. I believe they are in the US$1,100 range now. (NB: They quote in Canadian dollars)

I wound up ordering an axle off a place in South Carolina called Dexter Parts Online. It got built and shipped pretty quickly by Dexter, only about 2 weeks after ordering. In case it helps other Burro owners I put the measurements below.

My old axle was an Alko and it's either a 0 or -10 degree, hard to tell. The new Dexter is 22.5 down and wound up with +2.5" lift.

The bracket-bracket is 61.5". The old hubface-hubface was 76", the new axle is 78". I got a 2" wider hubface to gain clearance to fit 205/75/15 over the old 185/80/13 wheels and tires. The old axle had the tires quite inset into the wheel well and the new axle looks just right.

The pics below are in chronological order, with before and after pics. Also I haven't purchased new wheels/tires yet so the pics are with the old set.
