Lower Ball Joint Socket for Citroën/Peugeot – 3/4-Inch Drive

Brief Overview

This specialized lower ball joint socket is engineered for safe, damage-free ball joint extraction on Citroën and Peugeot platforms. The distinctive 4-pin engagement design prevents damage to surrounding suspension components during removal—a critical advantage over generic sockets. If you stock multiple Citroën/Peugeot service lines, this tool pairs perfectly with a multi-size ball joint removal kit to cover a broader range of suspension work.

• Optimized Geometry: 60 mm outer diameter with 52 mm inner bore engineered to fit Citroën/Peugeot ball joint housings without binding

Business Advantages for Resellers

This socket addresses a genuine market need: Citroën and Peugeot vehicles represent a significant share of European shop workload, yet generic ball joint tools frequently fail or cause collateral damage. By stocking this specialized socket, you can:

• Command Premium Labor Rates: Customers pay more for precision work that avoids component damage
• Reduce Warranty Claims: The 4-pin design eliminates rounding, cam-out, and housing damage—common complaints with improvised tools
• Build Customer Loyalty: Shops that invest in the right tool win repeat suspension work
• Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pair with compatible ball joint sockets for other European platforms to create a complete suspension tooling package

Why This Socket Matters

Lower ball joint removal is one of the most common—and most botched—suspension procedures. Technicians resort to cutting, grinding, or hammering because they lack the proper tool. This socket eliminates that problem entirely. The 4-pin design is not arbitrary; it's engineered to the geometry of Citroën and Peugeot ball joint housings, ensuring you remove the joint, not the housing.

For distributors building shop tool packages, this is a high-margin add-on that solves a real pain point and prevents callbacks.
