• Standard rear seal commonly catalogued as Dunbier 1706

• Marine seal alternative commonly catalogued as Dunbier 1716 where the hub and journal suit

🔄 Cross Reference & Related Parts

• Dunbier: 1608G

• Ford-pattern hub and wheel hardware is commonly used on these Dunbier brake axles; verify the installed PCD and stud thread

• Use Dunbier LM or Slimline bearing kits only according to the axle journal size

• Hub, bearing, seal, brake and spring components must be selected by axle journal and installed configuration

• Comparable axles from AL-KO, Mackay, Trojan or other manufacturers are not direct replacements unless beam length, spring centres, journal size, brake offset and wheel track all match

🚤 Trailer Compatibility & Application

• Suitable for compatible Dunbier marine trailers using the stated beam size, overall length and spring-centre geometry

• Measure the existing axle from hub face or axle end using the same method as the replacement catalogue before ordering

• Confirm wheel offset, tyre clearance, mudguard clearance and boat-hull clearance

• Axle capacity is determined by the complete axle, bearings, hubs, springs, tyres, brakes and trailer certification—not beam size alone

🔌 Function

Supports the trailer load between the suspension and wheel hubs while maintaining wheel track, bearing alignment and brake mounting geometry. The hydraulic disc system converts brake-fluid pressure into caliper clamping force.

Common signs of wear or replacement:

• Axle beam is bent, twisted or visibly cracked

• Tyres wear unevenly because wheel alignment or camber has changed

• Bearing journals are scored, undersize, corroded or heat-discoloured

• Spring seats, brake flanges or welds are cracked

• Persistent bearing looseness remains after correct adjustment

• Brake discs are below minimum thickness or heavily corroded

• Calipers seize, leak or apply unevenly

🛠️ Installation & Safety

• Axle replacement and brake setup should be completed by a competent trailer technician

• Support the trailer on rated stands before removing suspension or hub components

• Align spring centres and axle orientation before tightening U-bolts

• Fit new bearing seals, correctly pack bearings and set bearing end float

• Verify wheel-nut torque, brake operation and tyre clearance before road use

• Bleed hydraulic systems or adjust mechanical cables as required

• Road-test progressively and recheck wheel-bearing adjustment and wheel-nut torque

📦 Condition
