I can't find parts for my AL-KO Trailer Axles. What are my options? by Brad Krahn - published 11/2018 If you have, in the near past, or currently own a trailer with AL-KO brand axles, you may have noticed how difficult it is finding parts for them. But don't worry, we have a solution for you. A little bit of a background: We deal almost exclusively with PJ Trailers, but this will also apply to any brand with AL-KO's bolted underneath. PJ used many brands of axles on their trailers over the years, including Quality, Rockwell American, And AL-KO. In 2012, PJ switched their product line completely over to Dexter Axle. Then, in 2014 Dexter announced that they had acquired AL-KO, and combined their product line and customer base. A lot of these smaller components, even including the AL-KO 10,000 lb - 12,000 lb Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper, are still available from Fayette Distribution. Pros: Running new & up to date axles; replacement parts are readily available. Cons: Costly (especially for 10,000 - 12,000 lb axles on trailers w/ 20,000 - 30,000 lb GVWR) We offer a complete line of Dexter axles ready to bolt to your trailer. 2,000 lb - 7,000 lb axles most often use components that are universal brand to brand, so this option applies more exclusively to the 10,000 & 12,000 lb axles. Check out the Trailer Axles section on our website to find complete axle pricing. The 10,000 - 12,000 lb Dexter Axle is a wonderful product, but may be an expensive option for your trailer. However, this is worth looking into, especially if your current axles are deteriorating. We offer the 10,000 lb Dexter in Electric brakes, and the 12,000 lb Dexter in Electric and Hydraulic Disc Brakes (pictured below) Use the complete replacement AL-KO compatible brake kit manufactured by Kodiak Trailer Pros: High quality & cost effective. Bolts right to your AL-KO 10K & 12K Axle Cons: Well, I really can't think of any! Kodiak Brake Solutions designed a complete replacement disc brake kit to bolt right up to your AL-KO 10,000 lb & 12,000 lb disc brake axle! This kit comes with all the parts needed for one axle. (for a tandem axle trailer, 2 kits are needed) Hubs, discs, oil caps, caliper brackets, calipers, & brake pads are all included in this kit. Races are pre-pressed into the hubs. PLEASE NOTE: bearings, & hardware are not included in these kits. |
