43-Piece Strut Shock Installation Tool Kit

Brief Overview

This 43-piece strut shock installation kit is engineered for professional suspension technicians who need reliable, purpose-built tools for shock absorber removal and installation. The system eliminates the frustration of stripped fasteners and spinning pistons by providing a pass-through ratchet that holds the shock piston stationary while you turn the upper suspension nut. Whether you're managing a high-volume service shop or a specialized suspension specialist, this kit consolidates the most common fastener sizes into one organized system. For shops requiring additional specialist solutions, consider pairing this with a telescopic spring compressor kit for complete strut replacement capability.

Key Features

• Pass-Through Ratchet Design: Holds shock piston stationary to prevent rotation while fastening—eliminates the most common installation failure point
• 43 Precision Components: Bits, sockets, and adapters cover the vast majority of OEM shock fastener specifications
• Multiple Bit Profiles: D-hole, rectangular, hexagonal, flat, polygon (M12), Torx (T50/T60), and hexagonal-hole bits in standard metric sizes
• Pass-Through Sockets: 1/2" drive sockets (14–27 mm) with through-hole design for piston rod access
• Spacer Rings Included: Five precision spacer sockets (10.5×3.5 to 14.5×5 mm) for proper fastener alignment
• Dual Adapters: 1/2" and 3/8" bit adapters expand kit versatility across different fastener types
• Premium Steel Construction: Cr-V, Cr-Mo SCM435, and 50BV30 steel alloys for durability and corrosion resistance
• Custom Molded Case: Organized compartments protect tools and speed up job preparation

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Turnover Product: Shock absorber service is a recurring revenue stream in every service shop. This kit sits on shelves and moves consistently.
• Margin-Friendly: Full kit pricing is significantly better than selling individual bits and sockets separately to customers.
• Differentiation: Offering a dedicated suspension tool system positions your shop as a serious professional operation—not a general-purpose tool supplier.
• Bulk Appeal: Dealerships, fleet maintenance centers, and independent shops all stock this type of kit. Multiple units per order are common.
• Reduced Customer Callbacks: Proper suspension work means fewer comebacks for stripped fasteners or misaligned shock mounts.
