Bilstein Strut Shock Nut 22mm Socket

thingiverse

Bilstein Shocks/Struts, or possibly other brands as well, demand that you restrain the shock in place using an Allen wrench while tightening the nut securing the shock to its mount with a socket wrench. To accomplish this task, specialized sockets are available; however, these must be ordered in advance and come at a relatively high cost for a single-use tool. This custom socket features a hole through which you can insert the Allen wrench, enabling you to use a box wrench to tighten the nut. The required torque is typically quite low, usually falling within the 17-20 ft/lb range, making it suitable for plastic components. You could also utilize a torque wrench in conjunction with a "crowfoot wrench set," but manually tightening to this specific range is not particularly challenging. This design was created using onshape.com, and variables have been incorporated for nut sizes and wrench sizes; feel free to adjust as needed: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/58a22586fe6987b6fffcbf82/w/bf379427d709d86d8f5143bc/e/9a03013e835cc0f00a731506
