Because the top shock retaining nut on VW and Audi FWD cars is recessed inside the strut tower, conventional methods for removing and installing it just wont work. The 1-3/4" long socket reaches down into the recess and fits the slot in the top of the nut. Center bore allows you to use a hex key to hold the strut shaft from turning, and the 21mm hex can gripped with a wrench. |
