2. INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION

2.1. Introduction

2.1.1. Suitable for Macpherson strut coil springs. Features a yoke

extension bracket that also allows use on conical springs.

Supplied with three pairs of different sized interchangeable

yokes, for a wide range of vehicle applications and plastic yoke

protectors that protect the spring coating from damage which

can invalidate the vehicle manufacturer’s warranty. Safety

yokes are carefully shaped to stop the spring bowing while

two forged jaw interlocks, one on the body and the other on a
