What material are the hooks made of?

The hooks are made from drop-forged steel for increased durability.

Can I use this kit on any vehicle?

What safety precautions should I take when using this tool?

Always ensure the vehicle is properly supported and use the compressors evenly. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific procedures.

Troubleshooting

Compressor hooks slipping

Ensure hooks are securely seated on adjacent, undamaged coils. Do not force onto damaged or excessively worn spring coils. Use both compressors evenly.

Screw mechanism is stiff

Clean the screw threads and apply a small amount of lubricant. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.

Spring not compressing evenly

Ensure both compressors are engaged on opposite sides of the spring and that you are tightening both screws in equal increments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from durable, heat-treated tempered steel.
  • Drop-forged steel hooks offer superior strength and grip.
  • Twin hook design enhances stability during operation.
  • Facilitates safe and efficient suspension component replacement.
  • Comes as a 2-piece set for balanced compression.

Cons

  • Limited to springs up to 370mm in length.
  • Requires careful application to avoid damage to springs or components.
  • Not suitable for all types of suspension systems without careful assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands and the wheel is removed. Place the twin hooks of one compressor onto adjacent coils of the spring. Repeat with the second compressor on the opposite side of the spring. Gradually tighten the screw mechanism on both compressors in unison, applying even pressure, until the spring is sufficiently compressed to relieve tension from the mounting points. Always follow vehicle-specific service manual procedures.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for use with coil springs up to 370mm in length. It is generally compatible with most standard automotive coil springs. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle's suspension system before use.

Care: After use, clean the compressors to remove dirt and debris. Inspect the hooks and screw mechanisms for any signs of wear or damage. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust. Periodically lubricate the screw threads for smooth operation.
