Hello,

 

I am a little confused and could not find an answer yet!

 

I need to remove the front struts to replace the strut mounts. Therefore I need to crack the ball joints of the track rod and the control arm.

 

In the manual is referred to a special Porsche tool 9560 (C) for the control arm and a commercially available tool (B) for the track rod. Since I want to buy the correct tools, I have some questions:

 

-The tools look very similar, except that the one for the track rod has a flat outside and the one for the control arm a flat inside. Is that correct?

 

-Except the size the 2 ball joints look very similar to me. For my understanding the tool with the flat inside would also be the besser option for the track rod (foto). How can the proposed tool (B) work here?

 

-What are the required sizes (jaw opening) for the joints?

 

Thank you for any help!
