Shock Absorber Bolt Special Inserts, 5-Piece Set

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built, five-piece insert set designed specifically for safely engaging and servicing shock absorber fasteners across European vehicles—particularly VW, Audi, and Mercedes platforms. Each insert functions as an adapter between your standard 22mm socket wrench and the specialized bolt heads found on shock absorber assemblies. The chrome vanadium steel construction and matte chrome finish ensure durability across repeated service cycles. Pair these inserts with a complete shock absorber removal kit or a VAG-specific shock nut socket to streamline suspension work in your shop.

Key Features

• Five distinct insert sizes covering the most common shock absorber bolt configurations
• Chrome vanadium steel with matte chrome finish for corrosion resistance and professional appearance
• 22mm socket drive compatible with standard 1/2-inch drive sockets and ratchets
• Hex-faced body design for secure engagement and wrench grip
• Precision-engineered slots and recesses to prevent cam-out and fastener damage
• Vehicle-specific sizing: 10.5mm, 12.5mm, 14.0mm, and 14.5mm diameters
• Compact, stackable design for easy storage and quick access on the workbench
