Shock Absorber Tool Kit 19pc Strut Top Mount Nut Removal Set

A 19-piece shock absorber tool kit for servicing suspension spring struts and removing top mount nuts on many vehicle shock absorber assemblies. It is made to help retain the piston rod while giving access to the securing nut, which is often awkward to reach with standard tools.

Used for suspension work, strut removal and vehicle maintenance in garages, workshops and by experienced home mechanics, this set is suited to jobs where the top mount needs to be undone without the rod turning. The go-thru layout makes it useful when working on recessed fixings, and the range of sockets and bits helps cover different strut designs found across common vehicles. It can save time during servicing and helps make strut disassembly more straightforward when compared with trying to improvise with mixed hand tools.

The kit includes a 21mm 1/2in go-thru ratchet and a sliding T-bar for either ratcheting action or more direct manual control. Supplied with go-thru deep sockets from 16mm to 24mm, plus 120mm oval sockets, hex bits, hex sockets and a T50 star bit, it gives a useful spread for strut top mount work. The 120mm length on the specialist attachments helps with access down into the strut top area, and the selection is useful for regular maintenance where different fitting styles come up from one vehicle to another. Specific hex socket references are also listed for Mercedes Vaneo, BMW, and Opel Corsa B, Astra F, Astra G and Vectra B applications.
