Adapter needs depend on spring diameter, shape, strut design, and vehicle application. Use only adapters approved for the compressor and confirm coverage for the vehicles you service.

Not always. Spring diameter, length, shape, force, and strut design vary widely. Verify the compressor's approved application range and available adapters for the vehicles you service.

What type of strut spring compressor should a professional shop use?

Choose equipment designed for the range of strut and coil-spring assemblies your shop services, with secure spring restraint, appropriate jaws or adapters, controlled compression, and a stable mounting system.
