FAQs

What vehicles is this socket compatible with?

This 50mm, 4-pin socket is designed for lower ball joints on specific Peugeot and Citroen vehicle models. It is crucial to verify your vehicle's ball joint design matches the socket's specifications.

What size wrench do I need for the drive?

You will need a 35mm wrench or socket for the hex drive of this ball joint socket.

How do the drive pegs work?

The four internal pegs on the socket are designed to fit into the corresponding slots found on the flange of many lower ball joints, providing a strong and stable connection for turning.

Is the alloy steel construction treated?

Yes, the socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel, which enhances its strength and durability for professional use.

What is the internal clearance of the socket?

The socket has an internal clearance of 19mm, allowing it to accommodate a range of ball joint stud sizes.

How should I clean and maintain this tool?

After use, clean the socket with a cloth to remove dirt and grease. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and periodically check for wear.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit ball joint securely

Confirm that the vehicle model and ball joint type are compatible with the 50mm ring and 4-pin design. Ensure no debris is obstructing the ball joint slots or the socket's pegs.

Difficulty applying torque

Ensure you are using a properly sized 35mm wrench or socket on the hex drive. For very tight ball joints, use a breaker bar for increased leverage. Check for corrosion or damage on the ball joint itself.
