Torsion trailing arms are the suspension component that connects the axle beam to the hub end, allowing the axle to flex independently at each wheel for a smoother ride than a straight-beam setup. This kit is designed as a removable arm, meaning the trailing arm can be unbolted and replaced without disturbing the torsion axle's rubber cord suspension inside the axle tube, simplifying service when an arm is bent, cracked, or worn. The kit includes the trailing arm along with the hardware needed to mount it, so buyers do not need to source bolts or fasteners separately. It is intended for trailer owners, fabricators, and repair shops replacing a damaged or worn torsion arm on a boat trailer axle within the 5.2K to 7K capacity range. Because it fits axles set up for either idler or disc brake hub configurations, it covers both non-braked and disc-braked trailer axle applications built to this arm specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e K71-069-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.2K thru 7K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Idler or Disc Brake Axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.51 x 10 x 5.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 876983008759\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Trailer Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorsion trailer axles rated 5.2K thru 7K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxles configured for an idler hub or a disc brake hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dexter K71-069-00 kit used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-069-00 is a removable torsion trailing arm and hardware kit used to replace the trailing arm on a trailer axle rated 5.2K thru 7K, restoring the connection between the torsion axle beam and the hub end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this arm work with disc brakes or only idler hubs?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the K71-069-00 is designed for axles set up for either an idler hub or a disc brake hub, so it covers both non-braked and disc-braked configurations within the 5.2K thru 7K range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat weight capacity is this torsion arm rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Dexter trailing arm kit is rated for axles in the 5.2K thru 7K capacity range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs mounting hardware included with the K71-069-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Dexter K71-069-00 kit includes the torsion trailing arm along with the hardware needed to mount it to the axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Dexter K71-069-00 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-069-00 torsion trailing arm and hardware kit weighs 19.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this trailing arm kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-069-00 measures approximately 10.51 x 10 x 5.75 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Dexter part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number K71-069-00 is a Dexter branded torsion trailing arm and hardware kit, not a generic aftermarket copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this arm be removed without disturbing the torsion axle's rubber suspension?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the K71-069-00 is a removable-style trailing arm, allowing it to be unbolted and replaced at the hub end without disassembling the torsion cords inside the axle tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho would need to install the K71-069-00 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer owners or repair shops replacing a bent, cracked, or worn torsion trailing arm on a boat trailer axle rated 5.2K thru 7K would use the Dexter K71-069-00 kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the K71-069-00 fit both port and starboard axle ends?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter K71-069-00 listing does not specify a side-specific left or right designation, as it is a trailing arm kit rather than a side-specific bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991262998747,"sku":"DEX-K71-069-00","price":368.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Dexter-Versa-Flex-Torsion-5200lbs-through-7000lbs-Arm--Hardware-Kit-K71-069-00__55966.1747363799.500.750.jpg?v=1785188124","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/ufp-by-dexter-k71-069-00-removable-torsion-trailing-arm-hardware-kit-for-5-200-lb-to-7-000-lb-idler-or-disc-axles","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
