ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for use in repairing or replacing parts of the suspension system, such as a MacPherson strut of an automobile which suspends a frame or passenger compartment from a lower portion which includes the wheels and the axle. The apparatus includes an elongated upright apparatus which has a piston rod extending out the top. A special mounted assembly is mounted on top of the piston rod with outwardly extending arms which exerts an upward force on the spring of the MacPherson strut. At the same time a chain is attached between the housing of the elongated tool and the frame or body to prevent upper movement of the frame. When the spring is compressed the shock absorber portion of the MacPherson strut can be removed and replaced.
