YATO YT-06212 Shock Absorber Strut Tool Set
A professional 50-piece set of specialist tools for fitting and removing shock absorbers on cars and light commercial vehicles. Made from CrMo, S2 and CrV tool steels, it is compatible with most European and Asian vehicle makes.
Features of the shock absorber strut tool set
Comprehensive 50-piece set
Contains a range of spanners, adapters and sockets suited to the shock absorber mounting nuts found in different suspension designs. It removes the need to buy individual tools for different vehicle models, saving space in the workshop and reducing equipment costs.
CrMo and S2 tool steels
CrMo SCM-440 and 42CrMo are chromium-molybdenum steels with increased resistance to bending and torsional loads. The S2 steel used in the bits offers a hardness of 58-62 HRC while remaining resistant to snapping. CrV 50BV30 is a chromium-vanadium alloy noted for its resistance to wear under repeated use.
Wide vehicle make compatibility
The set covers the profiles and sizes used in the mounting systems of VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Citroën, Fiat, Seat, Rover, Vauxhall, Buick, Chrysler, Volvo and Austin. It handles both MacPherson struts and multi-link shock absorbers.
Transport case with snap latches
The rigid case protects the tools from mechanical damage during transport and storage. The latch system keeps the case firmly closed, and the moulded recesses hold each item in its designated place, making it easy to spot any missing pieces once the job is done.

Workshop applications
- Replacing shock absorbers in MacPherson struts where the piston rod must be held stationary
- Removing upper shock absorber mounts on cars with multi-link suspension
- Servicing air suspension on premium vehicles
- Accident repairs requiring the replacement of running gear components
- Vehicle inspections covering suspension diagnosis and component replacement
- Fitting sports suspension kits in car tuning
- Work on vans and light commercial vehicles with reinforced rear suspension
- Maintenance work on adjustable dampers in performance vehicles
How to check compatibility with your vehicle
Before starting work, identify the type of suspension design and the profile of the shock absorber mounting nut. MacPherson struts most commonly use splined or hexagon nuts that require the piston rod to be held stationary. Multi-link suspensions use various types of upper and lower mountings. The vehicle's technical documentation or parts catalogues give details of mounting dimensions and profiles.
Use and maintenance
Before each use, check the condition of the tools, looking for signs of worn splines, cracks in the material or deformation. When working on shock absorbers under spring tension, a spring compressor must be used and safety procedures followed.
After use, clean the tools of dirt, dry them and protect them with a thin film of protective oil. Storing them in the case protects against moisture and mechanical damage. Regular maintenance keeps tools made from tool steel in good condition for longer.
For nuts with non-standard profiles or sizes outside the range covered by the set, use the dedicated tools specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Using the wrong tool can damage the mounting or the tool itself.
