Ball Joint Socket 43mm 12-Point 1/2in for Mercedes-Benz

A 43mm Mercedes-Benz ball joint socket for loosening and tightening the supporting joint flat nut on selected models. The 12-point profile is made to engage the nut securely while allowing the supporting joint pin to be held in place during removal or refitting.

Used for suspension work on compatible Mercedes-Benz front and rear axle applications, this socket suits workshop servicing, repair jobs and vehicle maintenance where the correct fit is needed on ball joint fasteners. It is relevant for technicians working on GLE, GLS and C-Class models, and also fits certain E-Class, GLC and CLS applications listed below, making it useful when dealing with model-specific suspension work.

The socket has a 43mm tip-to-tip size, a 1/2in square drive and a 30mm hex drive for flexible use with suitable hand tools. Made from 40CR, it is built for repeated garage and workshop use on the stated applications. The frictional engagement in the nut profile helps with controlled loosening and tightening, which is especially useful when working on stubborn or awkwardly positioned suspension fasteners. For anyone regularly servicing these Mercedes platforms, having the correct 43mm socket close to hand helps avoid guesswork and saves switching to unsuitable general-purpose tools.
