SPC Performance Ball Joint Tool
SPC Performance Ball Joint Tools: Precision Built for the Job
When it comes to suspension work, having the right tool makes all the difference — and few brands understand that better than SPC Performance. Specialty Products Company has been an industry leader in automotive alignment solutions since 1971, and that decades-long expertise is reflected directly in their line of ball joint tools. These aren't generic shop tools; they are purpose-engineered instruments designed to complement SPC's own suspension components and get the job done right the first time.
Purpose-Designed for SPC's Sliding Ball Joints
What sets SPC Performance's ball joint tools apart from general-purpose alternatives is the deep integration between their tooling and their proprietary components. The SPC ball joint press (part #40920) is a universal tool for smaller passenger cars, specifically designed to remove original equipment ball joints when installing SPC Performance's sliding ball joints. This level of purpose-built engineering means less guesswork, fewer fitment headaches, and a cleaner installation overall.
With SPC's revolutionary press design, you can remove the ball joint from the front upper control arm without removing the arm from the vehicle — saving time and costs. The kit is packaged in a convenient blow-molded plastic case and comes complete with adapters for both removing and installing stock or SPC's sliding ball joints.
The 4-Way Ball Joint Separator: Versatility Without Compromise
Beyond the press kit, SPC Performance's 37985 4-Way Ball Joint Separator Tool is designed to adapt to various ball joint heights, eliminating the need for multiple specialized tools. This kind of adaptability is invaluable for professional technicians and serious DIYers who work across multiple vehicle platforms without wanting to clutter their toolbox with single-use items.
Built Around a Complete Suspension Ecosystem
SPC Performance specializes in alignment and suspension tuning products made to take on the abuse of the track and the reliability of any street or race application. Their ball joint tools are a natural extension of this philosophy — engineered not in isolation, but as part of a broader ecosystem that includes adjustable upper control arms and next-generation replacement ball joints. Designed, engineered, and assembled in Colorado, SPC's components are the result of a relentless pursuit of product performance and longevity.
Whether you're a shop technician performing a routine suspension refresh or a performance enthusiast upgrading to SPC's adjustable control arms, using the manufacturer's own tooling ensures compatibility and protects the components you're working with. SPC's ball joint press allows you to remove and replace joints without "brute force" methods that can cause costly damage.
