Description

Lower Ball Joint Socket for Citroën/Peugeot

Brief Overview

This is a specialized removal socket engineered specifically for lower ball joints on Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. The 4-pin internal structure distributes load evenly across the ball joint, eliminating stress concentration and preventing damage to surrounding suspension components during removal. Designed for shops that service French domestic models regularly, this socket fits perfectly into a comprehensive ball joint toolkit alongside a universal ball joint remover set for maximum coverage across vehicle platforms.

Key Features

  • 4-Pin Internal Design: Four equally spaced rectangular lugs engage the ball joint cup uniformly, reducing risk of distortion or damage
  • 3/4-Inch Drive Socket: Compatible with standard 3/4" drive ratchets and breaker bars for controlled torque application
  • Precise Dimensional Fit: 19 x 45mm body with 50.8mm OD and 43mm external wedge dimension ensures secure seating
  • Heavy-Duty Metal Construction: Black protective coating resists corrosion and extends service life in shop environments
  • Application-Specific Design: Purpose-built for Citroën BX, C5, Xantia and Peugeot 305, 405, 406, 605, 607 models
