Claw Strut Spreader Suspension Separator Manual Ball Joint Bushing Removal Tool

This claw strut spreader is a manual suspension separator tool designed to safely separate ball joints and remove bushings with controlled force. It functions as a fork-style separator to pry apart tapered joints without damaging surrounding components. This tool provides a reliable solution for suspension work where a hydraulic press is not available.

Overview

This claw strut spreader suspension separator is a manual tool built to separate ball joints and press out bushings during suspension repairs. It is intended for mechanics and DIY users tackling control arm, tie rod, or strut work. The claw design grips the joint securely to apply even pressure for efficient removal.

• Manual operation requires no air or hydraulic power, working in any location
• Heat-treated steel construction resists bending under heavy load
• Ergonomic handle provides leverage for controlled prying force
• Compact size fits tight suspension areas where larger tools cannot reach

On-The-Job Use

• Separating tie rod ends from steering knuckles during alignment work

Good To Know

Q: Can this tool be used on all ball joints? A: The claw design works on most tapered ball joints and tie rod ends, but very large truck joints may require a larger separator or press.

Q: Do I need any extra equipment to use this spreader? A: No, it operates manually with your own strength, though applying penetrating oil to rusted joints beforehand can make the job easier.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
