Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What vehicles is this shock absorber removal tool kit compatible with?

A: This kit is designed for universal fitment and works with a wide range of popular makes including VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Ford, BMW, MINI, Citroën, Renault, Peugeot, and many other European and domestic models. Always verify your specific vehicle's strut and ball joint dimensions against the tool's application range (5–13mm) before use.

Q: Do I need special equipment or power tools to use this kit?

A: No. This is a manual ball joint and strut spreader tool kit — no power tools are required. The hydraulic removal tool uses a standard external hex 17mm driver, making it easy to operate with common hand tools available in most garages.

Q: What is the claw separator made from, and will it hold up to heavy use?

A: The Style 2 claw separator is made from CR-V (Chrome Vanadium) stainless steel, which is well known for its high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It is the same material used in many professional-grade hand tools, making it suitable for repeated use in demanding automotive repair tasks.

Q: Is the parallel pressure surface feature important for safety?

A: Absolutely. The parallel pressure working surface ensures that force is applied evenly during strut spreading and bushing removal. This design prevents the tool from accidentally slipping or being ejected under pressure — a critical safety feature when working with compressed suspension components.
