Used to properly tighten strut nuts.
Why a strut nut socket? To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets allow for the use of an allen wrench to hold the damper shaft while utilizing your 1/2" drive torque wrench on the socket to achieve proper torque. An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse.
Looking for just a single socket for your application? Select your vehicle and navigate to the Suspension>Tools> section. Some aftermarket strut nut sizes differ from what was originally found on the vehicle. Please measure your nuts to be sure - alternatively, pick up our Schwaben 5 Piece Strut Nut Socket Set ES2703013 and be covered for all common sizes.
