Steering Rack Knuckle Tool – 32-42mm Range

Brief Overview

This steering rack knuckle tool is engineered for efficient, damage-free removal of steering knuckles in the 32-42mm diameter range. The hinged circular clamp design with internal serrations provides secure grip without marring, while the integrated square drive receptacle connects directly to your ratchet or breaker bar for controlled, repeatable extraction. Whether you're servicing suspension systems on a single vehicle or managing high-volume bay rotations, this tool eliminates guesswork and reduces labor time per job. For shops requiring broader capacity coverage, consider pairing this with a universal spreader kit with adapter pins to handle additional knuckle diameters.

Key Features

• Serrated Internal Grip: Deep internal serrations prevent slipping and knuckle damage during removal
• Hinged Single-Piece Clamp: Rapid positioning and clamping around the steering knuckle with minimal setup
• Square Drive Socket: Direct connection to standard ratchets and breaker bars; no adapters required
• Pivot Pin Design: Durable single-pin hinge ensures smooth, repeatable operation over thousands of cycles
• Heavy-Gauge Forged Steel: Solid construction rated for sustained extraction forces without deflection
• Compact Profile: Fits tight engine bay spaces and suspension geometries where larger tools cannot

Business Advantages for Resellers

High-Margin Professional Tool: Steering knuckle removal is a recurring service in any suspension shop. This tool addresses a specific, high-frequency need with no direct consumer crossover—pure professional market.

Reduces Labor Overhead: Mechanics using primitive methods (heat, hammers, or improvised spreaders) spend 15–20 minutes per knuckle. This tool cuts that to 3–5 minutes, freeing capacity for higher-margin jobs.

Durability Translates to Repeat Orders: Heavy-gauge forged construction means minimal wear-out. However, shops that adopt this tool often purchase backup units and expand to complementary spreader kits, driving larger order values.

Cross-Sell Ready: Stock this alongside steering knuckle tools in alternative drive sizes to capture shops with mixed ratchet setups (1/2" vs. square drive preference).

Closing Note

This is a specialized, high-frequency tool for suspension specialists and general repair shops. Its durability and ease of use make it a natural fit for shops already committed to professional-grade equipment. Stock depth recommendations: 2–3 units per 4-bay shop, with periodic restocking as crews adopt faster service methods.
