New TOOL BOXES for suspension and steering repairs

02.09.2025

 

Not only are we expanding our range of suspension and steering components for the aftermarket, we are also providing workshop professionals with the right equipment for the job: the new TOOL BOXES SUS01 and STE01 are designed to make the maintenance and replacement of these components far easier.

TOOL BOX SUS01 for suspension components:
two special tools for taking the hard work out of disassembly.

The suspension parts mechanics deal with on a daily basis are often very dirty and difficult to access, so undoing them takes a lot of effort. However, the task is now much easier thanks to the new TOOL BOX SUS01. This contains two high-quality special tools: a ball joint puller with hydraulic assistance and a compact spreader tool. Both are tailored to the specific repair requirements with suspension jobs.

  • Hydraulic ball joint puller: With a compression force of up to 12 metric tons, it is capable of separating tapered connections in a safe and controlled manner, making it ideal for ball joints and track rod ends – including in commercial vehicle and agricultural applications. The threaded adjuster ensures maximum flexibility.
  • Compact spreader tool: This tool can be used to spread suspension strut and ball joint mounts from 5 to 11.5 mm – perfect for separating the strut from the steering knuckle. The innovative lead chamfer with rounded edges allows it to be inserted more easily into the steering knuckle. Used together with a ¼-inch square drive ratchet – while counter-holding with a 17-mm open-ended spanner – it allows the job to be performed with ease and without any risk of excessive loads. The viewing window is a particularly handy feature that shows the current spreading area at all times – even when space is tight.

TOOL BOX STE01 for track rods:
replacement without removal of the steering gear

Inner track rods or axial joints with a diameter of 30–43 mm can be replaced quickly and safely with the help of the new TOOL BOX STE01– directly at the vehicle, without having to remove the steering gear and with far less effort.
The tool’s open design allows it to be easily attached, even when exterior parts of the joint are seized. The built-in eccentric wrench can be flexibly adjusted to different outer profiles (circular, flat, square or hexagonal) and ensures a secure grip with no slipping. 
Helpful instructions are included in the practical and robust case. 

Top tip: When replacing the track rod, always observe the torques and instructions specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
