Detect suspension wear faster with Laser Tools’ new Suspension Play Tester!

Worn suspension and steering components can lead to poor handling, uneven tyre wear, and even dangerous driving conditions. Diagnosing these issues early is crucial for vehicle safety and performance. The new Laser Tools Suspension Play Tester (part number 9174), is designed to make this process easier and more efficient, helping technicians quickly pinpoint excessive movement in ball joints, track rods, wheel bearings, and top strut mounts.

This innovative tool simply clamps onto the vehicle wheel, allowing the user to apply leverage and detect play in critical suspension components. By simulating real-world driving forces, it provides an accurate assessment of wear—something that a simple visual inspection cannot always reveal. Designed for use with the vehicle on the floor (thus loaded suspension components), or on a wheel-free ramp.

Why is this important?
• Safety: Excessive play in suspension and steering components can lead to unpredictable handling, increasing the risk of loss of control.
• Accurate diagnosis: Helps identify worn parts before they fail, preventing costly repairs and potential MOT failures.
• Better tyre wear and stability: Ensuring tight, properly functioning suspension components keeps tyres in good condition and improves ride comfort.

 

✅ Easy to Use: Clamps onto the vehicle wheel to provide maximum leverage for checking suspension joints and wheel bearings.
✅ Versatile fitment: Suitable for tyre diameters from 550mm to 800mm.
✅ Multi-angle testing: Mount vertically or horizontally for checking steering joints and track rods.
✅ Stuck wheel? Also useful for loosening stuck wheels—eliminating the need for wooden blocks and hammers.
✅ Front and rear compatibility: Can be used on both front and rear wheels.

A must-have for garages, MOT stations, and workshops, for use with both modern and classic cars. The Laser Tools Suspension Play Tester takes the guesswork out of diagnosing worn suspension components and is available now for purchase from your Laser Tools stockist and online retailers.
