Yuesstloo 18pc Strut Nut Removal Socket Kit — 16–24mm Go-Through Sockets, Slotted & Hex Adapters in Case

The Yuesstloo 18PCS Steering Hub Suspension Shock Absorber Strut Nut Removal Socket Kit is a complete, durable toolset designed to remove and reinstall top strut nuts and related fasteners on most cars and light trucks.

When servicing shocks, struts or steering hubs you need sockets that fit through the strut rod, hold the piston from turning, and withstand repeated torque. This 18-piece kit groups go-through deep sockets, slotted sockets, male and female hex adapters, a T50 sleeve, a reversible support wrench and a compact carry case—built from chrome vanadium and S2 steel for rust resistance and strength. It’s intended to speed up suspension jobs and reduce the risk of damaging the strut piston while loosening or tightening the top nut.

How does this kit make strut and shock removal easier?

The through-sockets and slotted designs allow the strut piston to pass through the socket so you can hold the piston steady while turning the nut. The included hex adapters and support wrench help transfer torque safely without rounding the nut.

• Go-through deep sockets sized 16–24 mm fit most top nuts.
• Slotted sockets allow piston and retainer clearance during removal.
• Male and female hex pieces secure awkward fasteners and fittings.
• Use with a 1/2" drive ratchet or T-bar for higher torque.

Which components are included and what do they do?

The set contains 18 pieces organized in a portable case so you can grab the exact tool needed for the job. Each piece serves a distinct purpose—deep sockets for standard nuts, slotted for through-access, hex adapters for inner fittings, and the T50 sleeve for specialty fasteners.

• 7 go-through deep sockets: 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24 mm.
• 3 female hex: 7, 8, 9 mm and 3 male hex: H6, H7, H8 for internal fittings.
• 3 slotted sockets: 5×8 mm, 6×8 mm, 7.1×9.6 mm for piston clearance.
• 1 T50 club sleeve, 1 reversible forward/reverse support wrench, plus gloves and case.

Will these tools hold up under regular garage use?

The tools are forged from chrome vanadium steel and S2 steel, materials commonly used for workshop-grade sockets and bits. That combination balances hardness with toughness to resist wear, corrosion and breakage when used within recommended torque limits.

• Chrome vanadium sockets resist rust and maintain fit on nuts.
• S2 steel adapters and slotted parts offer high impact resistance.
• Quality heat treatment improves lifespan under normal use.
• Compact case protects pieces and keeps the set organized.

What should I know before using this kit on my vehicle?

Confirm the top strut nut size and whether your strut uses a through-rod design before beginning. Always follow vehicle service manual torque specs and safety steps: support the vehicle properly, release spring tension with a spring compressor if needed, and wear gloves and eye protection.

• Check nut diameter against included socket sizes before applying force.
• Do not exceed recommended torque for sockets or adapters.
• Use a spring compressor for coil-over struts to avoid injury.
• Pair with a 1/2" drive ratchet or T-bar for better leverage.

Who this is for: DIY mechanics, independent repair shops and hobbyists who perform routine suspension or steering work will find this Yuesstloo kit useful. If you frequently service struts, shocks or steering hubs and want a compact, organized set built for through-rod access and resistant to wear, this kit provides the specific sizes and adapters needed to work quickly and protect fragile strut components.
