Axle Identification
HEAVY DUTY SERVICE MANUAL
22,500-27,500 LBS. AXLE CAPACITY
In the unlikely event that you should require service
assistance from Dexter, please have the lot (serial) number
of the axle available when you call.
On all axles produced after April 2001, this nine digit
number can be found near the center on the rear side of
the axle beam. Look for the words DEXTER AXLE and the lot
number will be located directly under the name. For easier
identification, rubbing a piece of chalk over the number may
help bring out the engraving.
Recreational Vehicle axles that have been certified for use in
Canada will also bear the letters CSA.
