Hello,
I have a 1965 Holsclaw boat trailer that I don't think has ever had its shocks changed nor its coil springs. How do I find out what size there are where can I get replacements?

Thank you,
Fred

Take one in to Pep Boy's or NAPA and see if they can match it with a foreign car shock. I had a Holsclaw and as far as springs, I used the old ones. The spring perches were shot and rusted through so I made a couple of new ones out of stainless plate and tubing.

Do not be tempted to run without shocks---They limit the axle travel and keep the springs from flopping out.
