Strut Spreader Tool

A strut spreader tool expands the mounting slot on a steering knuckle, allowing for the removal and installation of struts in suspension systems. The tool fits into the gap where the strut sits in the knuckle and, when turned, spreads the opening slightly. This allows the technician to release or insert the strut without excessive force all while preventing damage to surrounding components. Typically a strut spreader tool is made of hardened steel and comes in different shapes to fit various vehicle makes and models.
