Greetings everyone. I have a 2002 Mac 26x with OEM trailer. I plan on replacing the axle U-bolts wondered if anyone could share a link to where it can be ordered as a kit (bolts and bracket). The ones on my trailer are about 7 inches long. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Trailer axle parts are relatively standard. You should be able to get identical u-bolts from anyone who sells or services trailers. My local Ace Hardware even carries them.

I bought my disk brake kit from
https://www.trailerpartsdepot.com/. I see they offer a lot of U-bolts. I'm sure you can find what you need.

They are a great source; I've used them on occasion. You run into a problem though if you don't have a big enough order to qualify for free shipping. He's looking for around $5 in parts and the shipping will be around $17. My local hardware store is not know for good prices but I can pick up the same parts for about half that price.

I also suggest Tractor Supply. They have a surprisingly good selection of trailer parts and supplies. Take your old U-bolt with you to ensure a good fit.
(I should note that for some reason I can’t say “u-bolt” without wanting to call it “das bolt”.

I want to say “don’t give up your day job”

Thanks, was having trouble sourcing that length online, nothing on Amazon or etrailers.com if you can believe that... but looks like trailerpartsdepot.com may have them.
Cheers,
