Efficient Solutions with CTA Tools A430 Absorber Socket: Enhance Precision and Ease in Absorber Removal Review

I bought this to install Delco racks on a 1998 Monte Carlo Z34. The old racks required a T-50 torx to keep the shaft from rotating. Newer updated racks need something similar BUT this socket is too small. Might work with something but not my car.

Fits my 2006 Chevy Express 2500 Van. This was also a life saver. I've already done the first punch with a couple of vises. However, the second shock was tripled to super-dense. Without this connector I could not remove the shock absorber. I don't think it's a good replacement for a KYB shock. I put it in there after just looking at it and it didn't fit right. So I guess not all beats are the same.

I don't know how sizes vary between shock manufacturers but you need to work out what size double D bushing (which it is) you need. Both this CTA tool and the OEM socket didn't have sizing information when I bought them a few months ago. Snap On have a range of these that come in 3 different sizes and in my experience these 3 tend to fit most if not all you find.
