Compressor for shock absorber springs, lightly version
UNIOR is already selling a suspension compressor for shock absorber springs (No. 2051), however, many smaller car
repair shops do not need to use such a professional tool on a regular basis. This is where the light version comes in - it
functions the same as the tool under art. No 2051, but has a maximum working load of 2750 N. To prevent any bending
and the springs falling out of the cups, this tool features a safeguard that enables the parts of the tool used for remo-
ving to always operate in parallel. Maximum tool load is 11000 N.

strut), tighten the lower jaws around the lowest part of the spring using the locking
ring (fig.1B)
3. Ensure that the jaws are correctly aligned, making sure the two arms are parallel to
each other, see fig.2
4. Tighten the compressor by turning the two 19mm hex adjuster bolts (fig.1D) clockwise
using a suitable wrench. The coil will need to be compressed equally on each side – al-
ternating between each arm so as not to unbalance the spring. Compress the spring,
but not too tightly.

5. When the spring is fully compressed and is free to rotate on the strut, remove the top
plate from the strut, then withdraw the spring.
6. Reverse the above procedure to replace the spring.
