When Volvos start bouncing and bumping down the road instead of smoothly driving, chances are you'll need automotive suspension tools like the OEMTOOLS 24365 Volvo Shock Retaining Nut Strut Removal Socket Tool. In order to remove the shock absorber's retaining nut at the top of the strut, a strut rod nut socket like this one is needed to keep the piston rod from turning with the nut. The holding socket of this strut nut removal tool has 4 knurled points, a 1-3/8" bottom diameter with a cross hatch design that was specially made to be used with Volvo vehicles. You can use a 1" wrench to hold the suspension strut nut holding socket in place while using a 3/8" drive wrench to turn with the axle center socket. This strut nut tool removes the need for impact tools when looking for a strut remover. This OEM TOOLS Volvo strut tool kit can be used on Volvo C70 struts (1999-2004), Volvo S40 struts (2000-2004), Volvo S60 struts (2001-2004), Volvo S70 struts (Non-Turbo, Turbo, and AWD Turbo from 1999-2004), Volvo S80 struts (1999-2004), Volvo S80 V8 struts (2007-2008), Volvo S80 Turbo struts (1999-2006), Volvo V40 struts (2000-2004), Volvo V70 struts (1999-2007), and Volvo XC90 struts (2003-2010). When using this strut socket set, it is important for safety to use a strut spring compressor to compress the coil spring. Without a strut compressor, the stored tension in the coil spring could be released, shooting parts out of that tension with dangerous force. Always use proper safety precautions when using this strut tool remover or strut installation tool. It is also important to replace the struts set on both sides of the axle for a smooth ride, even tire wear, and safety. If you've got your strut compressors but need a specialty shock removal tool for certain makes of Volvo, the OEMTOOLS 24365 Volvo Shock Retaining Nut Strut Removal Socket Tool is specially designed to make your suspension work hassle-free.
