If any one has a source for 5200 lb dexter axles near Lexington, KY. please let us know @ 716.997.9160. We lost an axle this morning on the way to Norwalk, OH and still hope to make the race.

Not sure of the exact extent of your issue, however in our area and I'd assume everywhere there's a company called Axle Surgeons. We've used them in the past they basically weld a new spindle on. Over the road trucks use this service alot, plus they come to you....mobile service. Hope this helps and good luck. Joe
