Didn’t work well on the front joints on a 2016 Crosstrek. It kept slipping off and had to figure out an alternate method of removing the joints.

Have used for over a year on exclusively removing superduty steering dampers and it has bent pretty significantly. , for $40 its a good "itll do" compared to the shops $280 OTC. Does it last vs STUCK components? not really

Works to pop off the steering knuckle from the lower ball joints on my Jeep ZJ with a WJ knuckle conversion. No other tool I could find would work because there is not much clearance in there. It does sit at an angle at first, but once you start tightening it, it straightens up because the thin parts do flex a bit. The only other option really is to pound on the top of the knuckle with a large hammer, but in my case, I was deforming the surface and the knuckle still wouldn't budge.

Purchased it to removed the lower ball joint on Transit vans and it works like a charm. Just make sure to take the flat piece out that threads in.

Had a stubborn lower ball joint that wouldn't separate on my Ram 2500; Spent 5 min with this guy and popped it off after messing around for days with regular fork type separators. Put a lot of force on it and didn't miss a beat.Have a number of tools from Astro, and for the home mechanic they are tough to beat for price to performance ratio.

Used this on a 4th gen Ram 1500 4x4. In order to replace lower ball joints on this truck, the steering knuckle needs to be removed. I'm not a fan of smashing the aluminum knuckle with a BFH, that's where this tool came in. This one tool made quick work of both ball joints and the tie rod end. Astro tools, always good quality and good price.
