✔ Y-shaped lever adapter for depressing suspension arms and links
✔ Suitable for control arms, axle links and tension struts

This Y-shaped lever tool with a 1/2″ drive is designed for quickly depressing control arms, axle links and tension struts. It simplifies the removal of tapered or clamped ball joint connections.
Removing suspension arms and links can be difficult when clamped or tapered connections are seized by corrosion or tight press fits. Improvised lever tools often require a second person and increase the risk of slipping or crushing injuries.
The compact depressor adapter can be operated with a 1/2″ breaker bar or ratchet, allowing the connection to be preloaded conveniently with one hand. The other hand remains free for controlled hammer blows or for guiding the component safely during removal and installation.
Applications
The tool is suitable for work on:
- Control arms and wishbones
- Axle links and tension struts
- Ball joints
- Suspension struts
- Shock absorbers
- Front and rear axle assemblies
Drive Design
The adapter features a 45°-angled 1/2″ square drive and a star-shaped 1/2″ 8-point drive. This allows the operating lever to be repositioned in 45° increments for improved access in confined spaces.
Its compact dimensions allow it to be stored conveniently on a vehicle lift or in a workshop tool trolley.
Recommended Tool
For increased leverage, we recommend the 610 mm heavy-duty 1/2″ breaker bar.
The CrV breaker bar is swivelling and suitable for loads of up to 600 Nm.
