Your cart is empty.This Performance Tool W83052 Ball Joint Separator is designed to make removing seized, rusted or corroded ball joints easy. It removes ball joints in a single pulling motion to reduce the chance of ball joint breakage, and it is cold-forged and heat-treated for added strength and added longevity. Simply use a 3/4 in. (19 mm) socket and your impact tool while holding the body with a 1-5/8 in. (40 mm) wrench. Works great for removing ball joints of Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Tribeca, and Baja.

If you're trying to pull a rusty ball joint from a Subaru Forester, you should just go ahead and get this tool. It's durable and should last well if you use it correctly.

Used it to break my ball joints free. The end mushroomed a bit but it performed as promised. In fairness, I did beat the tar out of it...It's ready for my next project. Hopefully years from now. This is the kind of tool you buy for a purpose, use it, put it in a drawer, and forget about it until it's needed again. And then you thank the stars you've got one. Glad I bought it.

If your having to beat this tool out of shape to separate a ball joint or tie rod....then you need to invest in wd40, or a good penetrating oil and let the joint soak, because this tool works quite well, my only gripe is, the handle may be too long for small working spaces....even then, you can cut it down to fit for your needs if your handy.....it may be too wide for small joints, but it works good for half ton suv's trucks, full size cars etc....I give it a very solid 4 stars!

Firstly, these bonking sticks seem to be decent quality, but my car ended up in an accident removing the need for me to use them. Why did I call them a bonking stick? Well, these tools really only serve on purpose. Separating ball joints. Almost seems like a waste if you can just borrow them from the local parts supply. So, the only other purpose would be use them for bonking things. Home invader? Bonk! No hammer around? Bonk! I just wouldn't recommend bonking your petulant nephew with them. They are quite heavy and he might not end up being right in the head after a good bonking. They have other ball joint separators that supposedly wouldn't damage the rubber on tie rod ends or whatever but lets be serious; Those things are way to small to double as a bonking stick.

This is a very well made tool. It did not work for me though, but it was not the tools fault. I was trying to separate the drag link end from the pitman arm on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler but fork was not wide enough to fit around the stud on the drag link. Again, this was not the fault of the tool. I just bought a fork that was too narrow for my needs.

I bought this Ball joint tool in order to help me in changing my car's suspension but the metal it is built from is so soft that it did not serve any purpose and the fork bent right away and it was going to cut through the rubber seals around the ball joints that it was supposedly designed to protect. For tools like that, unless you are definitely certain about its quality and right size, it is better to purchase them from your local store so that you could exchange right away in case it is defective etc.
