Wheel Play Tester for Suspension, Steering & Bearing Checks

A wheel play tester used to clamp directly onto the vehicle wheel so you can rock it with more control when checking for movement. The extra leverage makes it easier to feel and spot play in suspension and steering components that can be harder to pick up by hand alone.

Used for vehicle maintenance, workshop inspections and driveway fault-finding, it helps when checking worn suspension joints, wheel bearings and top strut mounts with the vehicle on the floor. Mounted horizontally, it can also be used for steering joint and tie rod checks, making it useful for garages, mobile mechanics and DIY repairs on cars, SUVs and vans. It also comes in handy when a wheel is stuck and needs freeing without resorting to hammers or wooden blocks.

Clamping straight to the rim keeps the tester quick to fit and simple to use during repeated checks on front or rear wheels. It suits wheel diameters from 550mm to 800mm, roughly 13in to 22in, covering a wide range of common vehicle sizes. The non-damaging clamp action is useful when working on customer vehicles or keeping your own wheels mark-free, and the broad fitment range means one tool can cover a lot of regular inspection work.
