OTC Introduces New Ball Joint Master Service Kits

New 50-plus piece master service kits give technicians the versatility needed for quick removal and installation of ball joints, while offering unmatched mechanical strength and durability.

OWATONNA, Minn. — OTC, an SPX brand, has introduced its new Ball Joint Master Service Kits (P/N 6529 and P/N 6539), specifically designed to offer professional technicians complete capability to service ball joints and other general pressing operations on car and light truck vehicle systems up to 2008. Consisting of more than 50 adapters of various sizes and a comprehensive 290-page Applications Guide, the 6529 Car Ball Joint Master Service Kit and 6539 Truck/Van/SUV Ball Joint Master Service Kit are manufactured to fit precise OEM applications in order to give technicians the versatility needed for the job, while offering unmatched mechanical strength and durability when compared to the competition, SPX says.
 
"There’s nothing else like these Master Service Kits on the market," said Rob Kochie, OTC Aftermarket Product Manager at SPX Service Solutions. "Seventy percent of the OEMs have cars with press-in ball joints, and these kits are designed to cover all of those vehicles that require ball joint replacement," said Kochie. "Having the right tools and adapters available when you need it cuts service time and allows technicians to work faster, resulting in increased productivity."
 
The one of a kind Application Guide provides quick and easy references on how/when to use each adapter in the kit. The comprehensive guide contains adapter application charts and diagrams organized by Make-Model-Year through model year 2008. This guide offers information at the fender, including instructional diagrams and charts referencing removal and installation tool part numbers, eliminating guess work of which adapters are required, SPX says.
