User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a 96 dodge ram 1500 4wd springs
Answer:	Yes, this is the ideal spring compressor for your 04 Silverado and was specifically designed to work on most coil springs on vehicles with A Arm Coil Spring front suspension.
Question:	Will this work for my 19” springs from my 1977 Mercedes 240D
Answer:	The spring I used it on had a diameter of about 5 inches, coil was about 5/8 thick, worked great

Product features

Pros

• hex shaped center screw for socket or 1/2 inch cut out in the top to directly insert an impact gun
• detent pins to ensure hooks stay over the coil

Conical Spring

for very thick conical spring wire, I suggest your use three compressors or risk damaging the tool while the spring is compressed

reversing the pin and inserting it the other direction

Installation Simple

add more grease/lubricant to the center screw, Just mount them on opposite sides of the spring, and begin to tighten them.

I recommend five rotations or so on each side before switching, so no one side becomes too compressed

Strong Metal

• not like other cracking ones
• heavy duty, forged metal
• these take the danger out of it,straight forward

• EASY TO USE: Use the ABN 11.5” Inch Strut Spring Compressor Tool – Set of 2 (Pair) – MacPherson Spring Compression, 13/16” Socket 1/2" Drive to compress the coil spring to replace the shock absorber unit or spring; For repairs on bent struts, strut tubes, and damaged pieces; Easy and super-fast setup; Attach the brackets completely onto the spring, tighten, and remove the strut; Lubricate threads with anti-seize compound for prolonged life
• LOCKS INTO PLACE: Acme threaded rod with broad spring contact and built-in detent pins to lock the coil spring in place for safer spring compression; Acme threaded rod allows for durable and smooth compression of springs both on or off the vehicle with hand or power tools
• WIDE RANGE OF COMPATIBILITY: Universally compatible with struts assembly that remove from the vehicle to transfer the old spring on the new strut; Hex-shaped end for a 13/16-inch wrench or socket and allows a 1/2-inch extension for adjustment if the strut is too close to the tool; 11.5-inch threaded rods for 10-inch to 10.5-inch maximum opening to fit jaws to coils (Wide jaws with standard diameter of approximately 6 inches OD front coil springs)
• BUILT TO LAST: Constructed with forged hooks and center screw hardened for maximum strength and longevity; Designed to withstand extreme pressure in any environment; For professional use
• EASY STORAGE: Heavy-duty plastic blow-molded carrying case for easy transportation, safe storage, and quick organization

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a 1969 Ford Mustang
Answer:	I don't see why it wouldn't I used it on my 13 f150
Question:	Will these work on a 2005 dodge stratus 4 door sedan
Answer:	I' can't say for sure but I would see no reason why they would not. The coil springs on the Sedona van were good size and these compressors had no problem doing the job. They have a hex shaped end for a wrench or socket to adjust them with. But if the strut is too close to the tool to get a socket on they also allow a 1/2 drive extension to be inserted into the end for adjustment. This is the method I used and preferred.
Question:	Where is this made in
Answer:	Made in China, but they work fine. One thing when using these or this type of compressor is that you only need to compress spring just enough to make the top hat loose then you can loosen the hat nut. Most people compress way too much when it is not needed.
Question:	Does anyone know what size socket is needed to clamp these down? I plan on using an air gun, just need to make sure I have the right size socket
Answer:	My set takes a 21mm socket or a 13/16" socket (fits very snug). However, the hex end has a female socket for a 1/2" drive. So a 1/2" ratchet with an extension would work as well. I would be careful using an air tool instead of a wrench or ratchet. You may get one side a head of the other. It actually does not take much to compress the springs. Be sure to lubricate the threads before starting. My set came lubricated but I added anti-seize to be sure.

The tool includes lower security jaws and adjustable safety bars and can be used with a 19 mm hex socket or wrench, , assisting the mechanic with years of compression jobs.
• 🚗 The compressor is rugged and durable, so it resists bending or warping under high tension. The hex nuts are easy to turn, so they can better grip the springs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work o nthe front coil springs of a Jaguar 1990 XJS
Answer:	It works great on my 78 Merc 240d. But I had to open the holes some to accept the shaft. You must have clearence to accept the center shaft.
Question:	Will this work on 1 ton chevrolet coil springs
Answer:	I replaced mine with these with excellent results. I have a W115 75 240 D. Don't attempt this without the spring compressor specifically designed for these model cars. Seriously. Even then you have to carefully plan the approach and adjust the tool and there are some tricks. Well worth the repair though. Your car will sit taller, like new. With the springs out, other worn out rubber components will be accessible. Replace all of those you can.
Question:	Will this work on a grand marquis front coils? Are the plates big enough
Answer:	I've only use the tool once on a 1988 260E and it fit perfectly. It listed the models that it fits so does your have aftermarket lower control arms? Maybe you could open up the hole with a grinder a little. good luck sorry I don't have a better answer.
Question:	would this work on my 1991 dodge D350 front springs
Answer:	I bought this for my Merc 300d which has an extremely heavy engine, thus really tough hard to handle front suspension springs.

Question:	Will this work for a 04 Chevy Silverado with coil spring front
Answer:	i used it on my '05 silverado front springs so I imagine it will... It depends on the coil diameter.

Hope this helps...
Question:	What are the ranges for spring diameter and coil thickness

Reducing Potential Damage

Coil spring compression is no easy task and can sometimes be dangerous. That's why we built the OEMTOOLS 27035 Coil Spring Compressor to reduce the risk during repairs.
