Lever Tool for Wishbone Heads and Shock Absorber Removal

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built mechanical lever designed for the controlled removal of wishbone (control arm) ball joints and shock absorber suspension components. The long 970mm leverage arm eliminates the need for multiple technicians, making it ideal for independent shops and multi-bay operations where labor efficiency directly impacts profitability. The tool pairs effectively with dedicated shock absorber removal kits for comprehensive suspension work capabilities.

Key Features

• Single-Operator Design: Mechanical advantage reduces required labor to one person, lowering service costs per job
• Extended Reach: 970mm total length provides substantial leverage for stubborn, corroded joints
• Adjustable Clamping Range: 65mm to 265mm clamping height accommodates various suspension geometry configurations
• Dual-Engagement System: Combination of front S-hook and rear chain assembly (approx. 660mm chain length) enables multiple grip points and extraction angles
• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Blue powder-coated steel resists corrosion in shop environments
• Stable Pivot Point: Reinforced hinged lever mechanism with bolted assembly and rubber-capped fasteners for durability

Business Advantages

• Labor Reduction: Eliminates two-person job requirement, increasing technician availability for billable work
• Service Speed: Faster suspension component removal drives higher job throughput
• Reduced Callbacks: Mechanical extraction minimizes component damage compared to impact tools or improper hammering
• Inventory Efficiency: Single tool handles both wishbone and shock absorber work, reducing SKU count
• Resale Margin: Professional-grade suspension tools maintain strong demand in independent and franchise shop segments

Value Proposition for Your Customers

Suspension technicians will appreciate the mechanical certainty this tool provides. Unlike hammering or prying with improvised tools, the lever's controlled force and extended reach prevent component deformation and reduce injury risk. For shops upgrading from basic hand tools to proper suspension service equipment, this lever is an essential first investment—particularly when paired with specialized shock absorber disassembly tools with internal spring handling for complete suspension service capabilities.

Stock this tool as an entry point for shops moving into professional-grade suspension work. It pays for itself within 5-10 jobs through labor savings alone.
