Product Description
The ATLIN Strut Spreader Socket is an essential for shock maintenance and general suspension work on any vehicle equipped with a pinch bolt, clamp style strut hub.
Some vehicle manufacturers design their front struts to be clamped into the knuckle. This is commonly called a pinch bolt hub. Removing the bolts will not be enough to detach the shock from a vehicle featuring this design. After the bolts are removed, a spreader socket must be placed into the strut clamp and rotated. This will spread the spindle housing hub away from the strut and allow it to be removed.
