After doing research on suspension tools, I opted to get the large set. Never know when you'll need a piece. NOTE: this tool is a "puller" and "pusher". In other words, it pulls the ball joint out and then pushes it in. I had to use this on the bottom side of the lower arm to replace the joint. In order to do so, be sure to have the vehicle jacked up high enough to fit the tool. Use a hydraulic jack on the lower arm to control drop. Tool and pieces seem to be good quality. I didn't have any issues other than trying to use it to "press" the joint out (which I like better). The opening just isn't wide enough to put what you need together to make it work. I opted to cut the ball joint threaded piece with my cutoff wheel and then using the tool, added a deep impact socket of mine to make it work. When I did the other side, I just used the tool from the bottom and it worked just fine. I did put some never sieze on the threaded shaft just to make it easier to use. The adapters are in a blow molded case (very nice) but not marked as in the instruction manual (very weak). I intend on making labels to put the number above each piece and laminate a copy of hte manual (available online) and keep with the tool. Whether your an avid mechanic or just occasional garage junky that needs to do occasional suspension work, I don't think you'll go wrong.

It's a fairly complete kit that gives you most adapters you will ever need for most vehicles. For the price point of this kit you would be hard pressed to do better in terms of completeness and quality. With that said, I do have a couple of issues with the C frame of the press and the forcing screw. While the material appears fairly strong and rigid the problem is the frame itself is sometimes not large enough to accommodate some of the larger fittings that may be needed on some jobs. For instance, if you must use a couple of the larger cups together you will often find that the press simply will not fit on them because the opening is just not wide enough. You may find yourself resorting back to more primitive methods to get the ball joint moved enough to allow room for the tool and the adapters. That kinda defeats the purpose of having the tool. The second, and I find more important issue, is that the fit of the forcing screw into the threads of the C-frame are very sloppy and result in significant play/wobble of the forcing screw. This often leads to the parts being pressed at a slight angle which in turn causes the part to bind up and not want to move at all, mainly upon initial installation. I often have to loosen the press and reposition it a few times to make sure the part is being pressed in correctly so it does not get in a bind and damage something. Once the part is pressed in far enough it is no longer an issue but special care must be taken when first starting to press the part in. This goes for ball joints and U-joints as well since this tool will also press U-joints. Over all, I think this kit is worth what you pay for it, but it could be improved upon by making the press an inch or so larger and tightening up the fit of the forcing screw in the frame.

I bought this kit to use on a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban K2500 4x4 3/4 ton (7.4L). I used this kit to press out and press in the ball joints on the forged lower control arms. I read the instructions but the parts the instructions said to use would not work. I ended up using parts #19, #4, and #3 to press in the ball joint - with the cap #4 on top of the arm with the screw pressing down on it pulling the #19 cup and ball joint lip up into position. . I used #19 and #3 with the screw pressing directly on the ball joint to press it out. I had the screw on top of the arm for both actions. The arm of the ball joint should slide down through part #3 in both instances and the bottom hole of the C frame allows it to pass through. I also used parts #19 and #3 to press the rubber boot up over the ball joint. I would recommend only using this kit with an impact driver and a #22 socket (fits the screw). I could not imagine trying to do this manually with a breaker bar. I would have given it 4 stars because of the poor instructions but once I figured out the puzzle, it worked great and the parts are very very strong. I am impressed with how great it worked.

I would give a 5 star review but the case came broken I am very disappointed.

I used this tool to remove and reinstall the press-fit upper ball joints in my 1963 Thunderbird. There was no tweaking or bending of the clamp (as there seems to be with other sets) and the various cups and attachments seem well-made. I had no issues and the ball joints came out and went back in with very little effort. The instructions are a little light on details, particularly if your car isn't specifically covered, but it a little trial and error to get the best combo is all it takes. If you're looking for a decent set for a reasonable price - this is it - its overkill for me because I'll likely never need half the parts, but since I wasn't sure which combination I needed, I went with the bigger set.

I'm a professional technician. I was nervous about purchasing this at such a good price thinking it would not be good quality. It's a great product and I'm very happy with the heavy duty applications this kit can tackle. I only wished it came in a smaller case because it's very bulky.
