OEMTOOLS Volvo Shock Retaining Nut Strut Removal Socket Tool, Automotive Suspension Tools

Whenever Volvos start bouncing and bumping down the road instead of smoothly driving, chances are you'll need automotive suspension tools like the OEMTOOLS 24365 Volvo Shock Retaining Nut Strut Removal Socket Tool. To remove the shock absorber's retaining nut at the top of the strut, a strut rod nut socket like this one is needed to keep the piston rod from turning with the nut. The holding socket of this strut nut removal tool has 4 knurled points, a 1-3/8" bottom diameter with a cross hatch design that was specially made to be used with Volvo vehicles.

You can use a 1" wrench to hold the suspension strut nut holding socket in place while using a 3/8" drive wrench to turn with the axle center socket. This strut nut tool removes the need for impact tools when looking for a strut remover. This OEM TOOLS Volvo strut tool kit can be used on a variety of Volvo models, including the C70 (1999-2004), S40 (2000-2004), S60 (2001-2004), S70 (Non-Turbo, Turbo, and AWD Turbo from 1999-2004), S80 (1999-2004, 2007-2008, 1999-2006), V40 (2000-2004), V70 (1999-2007), and XC90 (2003-2010).

When using this strut socket set, it is important for safety to use a strut spring compressor to compress the coil spring. Without a strut compressor, the stored tension in the coil spring could be released, shooting parts out of that tension with dangerous force. Always use proper safety precautions when using this strut tool remover or strut installation tool. It is also important to replace the struts set on both sides of the axle for a smooth ride, even tire wear, and safety.

The OEMTOOLS 24365 Volvo Shock Retaining Nut Strut Removal Socket Tool is specially designed to make your suspension work hassle-free. The holding socket of this nut removal tool set holds the rotating piston rod in place, enabling the easy removal of the nut with the center socket. This tool is perfect for the ambitious DIYer and professionals in a European vehicle repair shop, as the shock retaining nut can be difficult to remove without impact tools or a special strut nut socket kit like this one.

The holding socket has 4 knurled points and a 1-3/8" bottom diameter with a cross hatch design to hold the nut using a 1" wrench, while the axle center socket uses a 3/8" drive wrench. Always use a spring compressor to compress the coil spring before loosening the strut nut to avoid part damage and to prevent potentially severe personal injury.
