Universal Suspension Strut & Hub Spreader Tool – Welzh 5659-WW

Professional universal suspension strut clamp spreader tool engineered for the quick and damage-free removal and installation of shock absorber struts, wheel hubs, and ball joints.

The Welzh 5659-WW Universal Strut Spreader Tool is an essential workshop specialist tool for suspension and steering servicing. It is designed to effortlessly spread the suspension strut clamp housing on the hub knuckle, allowing the damper unit to slide out smoothly.

By keeping the clamp slot open mechanically, it completely eliminates the need for hammers, chisels, or pry bars that risk fracturing cast-iron or aluminium hub assemblies. Its robust parallel-action jaws ensure stable, slip-free performance even on rusted or seized components.
