Heavyduty forged forkheads — Manufactured with hardness forging and heat treatment, the forkheads on this ball joint separator resist deformation and deliver consistent performance under heavy loads. Built for reliability during repeated mechanical tasks. Fits 17.4–28.5 mm ball joints — Designed to work with ball joints and tierod ends in the 17.4–28.5 mm size range, so you can tackle a wide variety of passenger vehicles and light trucks without guessing fitment. Protects components and reduces effort — The separator provides controlled, even separation to prevent added strain to suspension parts and avoid damage to boots, control arms, and steering knuckles. Faster, safer removal means less risk of incidental component damage. Organized storage included — The tool ships with a dedicated storage box to keep components together, protect the tool between jobs, and reduce the chance of lost parts. Helps restore steering and suspension performance — By enabling clean, safe removal and replacement of worn ball joints, the tool contributes to restoring proper steering response and suspension geometry for a more stable ride. Typical applications Replacing front lower control arm ball joints on cars and light trucks. Separating tierod ends during steering repairs or wheel alignment work. Suspension rebuilds and routine maintenance where safe removal of pressfit ball joints is required. Why choose this separator Forged, hardened forkheads provide durability and repeatable results. Wide 17.4–28.5 mm compatibility covers most common ball joint sizes. Includes storage box for convenience and tool protection. Designed to minimize component damage and reduce labor time during removal. Contents and use notes Ball joint separator with forged, hardened forkheads and storage box. Use with appropriate force source (hand tool or press as required) and follow vehicle manufacturer procedures. Confirm ball joint diameter falls within the 17.4–28.5 mm range before use.
