Workshop Tools for Vehicle

Workshop tools are the purpose-built tools and accessories used to support suspension servicing at the shop or driveway level. Correct bushing removal and installation requires the right tooling to press components cleanly into and out of their bores without damage to the bushing, arm or housing. Attempting bushing service without dedicated press tooling risks deforming the new bushing during installation, damaging the bore, or failing to fully seat the bushing — all of which compromise the quality and service life of the installation regardless of the quality of the part being fitted.

The workshop tools range covers three products: a universal press and pull tool kit that handles bushing removal and installation across a wide range of suspension positions and bore sizes, a universal jack handle bushing that renews the pivot point of the floor jack handle, and a jack strap holder that retains the floor jack handle in its raised position during use. Together these tools support efficient, correct and damage-free bushing installation at the shop and DIY level.

Why Upgrade Suspension?

The quality of a bushing installation is determined as much by the tooling used as by the bushing itself. A new polyurethane bushing pressed in at an angle, driven in without a correctly sized mandrel or forced into position with a hammer and socket will not seat concentrically in the bore, will not compress evenly under load, and will wear unevenly from the first mile of use. The correct press and pull tooling ensure every bushing is removed cleanly and installed squarely and fully seated in the bore, delivering the service life and performance the bushing is designed to provide.

For shops and experienced DIYers completing suspension work across a variety of vehicle platforms, a universal press and pull kit eliminates the need to source individual mandrels and adapters for each job, reducing both setup time and the risk of incorrect tooling being pressed into service as a substitute.

Workshop Tools Range

The workshop tools range includes:

• Universal Press/Pull Tool Kit: A comprehensive bushing removal and installation tool set with a range of adapters and mandrels sized to cover a wide variety of suspension bushing bore and OD dimensions.
• Universal Jack Handle Bushing: A polyurethane replacement bushing for the floor jack handle pivot point, restoring smooth and correctly compliant handle operation on applicable floor jacks.
• Jack Strap Holder: A floor jack handle retention strap holder that secures the jack handle in its raised operating position, keeping the handle clear of the work area during use.

Why Purchase Workshop Tools?

Having the right bushing press tooling on hand is as important as having the right bushing kit. A universal press and pull tool kit turns every bushing job into a clean, controlled installation rather than a forced-fit improvisation, and the range of adapters included means the same kit covers the full breadth of suspension positions encountered across the most common domestic, Japanese and European platforms without requiring separate tooling for each bore size.

For shops investing in a complete suspension servicing capability, the universal press and pull kit is the single tool purchase that makes every other bushing kit in the catalog installable to the correct standard. For DIY users completing a full suspension overhaul, it eliminates the need to improvise with sockets and bolts and ensures the installation quality matches the quality of the parts being fitted.

Compatible Vehicles

Workshop tools are compatible with a wide range of vehicles and applications, including:

• Vehicles requiring suspension bushing removal and installation within tool adapter size range.
• Floor jacks needing handle pivot bushing replacement.
• Floor jacks requiring handle retention solutions for safe operation.

Installation and Support

Workshop tools are ready to be used immediately from the kit. The universal press and pull tool kit includes an installation guide covering adapter selection and tool assembly for common suspension positions. For additional technical assistance on tool selection and adapter configuration for a specific bushing position or bore size, a dedicated support team is available to help ensure the correct adapter combination is used for each application.

Repair and Upgrade

The universal press and pull tool kit is constructed from quality materials engineered to withstand the pressing and pulling loads required across a full range of suspension bushing sizes. The jack handle bushing is manufactured from polyurethane for correct compliance and durability at the jack handle pivot. The jack strap holder is built for repeated use across a standard shop service. The press and pull tool kit is backed by a 1-year warranty, the jack handle bushing by a 3-year warranty, and the jack strap holder by a limited lifetime warranty.

Who Workshop Tools Are For

Workshop tools are a practical solution for:

• Workshop technicians performing suspension bushing removal and installation across multiple vehicle types.
• DIY users completing suspension overhauls with proper press tools for safe, accurate installation.
• Technicians servicing floor jacks requiring handling bushings or retention solutions.

The right workshop tooling ensures every bushing is installed correctly from the first press, protecting the investment made in quality suspension parts and delivering the full-service life each bushing is engineered to provide.
