My friend's trailer has 10K dual wheeled axles. I can't remember for sure but he said it has "PQR" or maybe PQD" axles???

My trailer is a Neal Trailer and it has Dexter 10K dual wheeled axles. I had to replace a seal and got it at O'Reilly's.

Not to change the subject to much, but there is Dexter axles and Dextar or Dexstar axles, I rememeber hearing about this before on here about Dexter axles, I have Dexter axles on my Longhorn trailer, but what ever issues any of you guys are having, I am all ears and eyes.:shocked:

Dexter also sold Dextar and that is their foray into totally chinese manufactured axles. It was always just loose bearings, no grease, improperly installed seals... never really the quality of the components, just crappy workmanship. AND they would make us wait an entire year at times to get credit on a warranty claim. We only used Dexter if we absolutely had to build something special in a huge hurry, otherwise we went elsewhere.

This was 8 years ago. I could not say now what they build as far as quality. Ruined me enough that we never went back.

Good stuff. Great guys to deal with an you have a branch office right in Kansas city, so parts are easy to snag.

Pretty much everything around here and I own has Al-Ko axles and I have had great luck with them. Yes, many of the bearings ect are Chinese but so are the replacements I get from Napa. I also have one tri-axle trailer with triple 6K Dexters under it and they have been good also.

Just because its Chinese does not mean its junk. They can build to any quality level. That is where the problem lies. They will and can build some of the finest products but they will and can also build junk. Its all what the specification of the business have items manufactured is.

Agreed... no matter where it is built, if it is built right, it's great. If not, it sucks.
