There are 2 sets of these, this one is for 4x4 wheel drive, other is normal cars n trucks.
I needed a Ball Joint Kit that can handle 4 wheel Drive Ford's. After a calll to Amazon custumer service a retired mechanic helped me choose this one. Finding the correct Adapters + recivers took longer than changing my sisters ball joints, witch is my own fault cuz it was my first time. If you need 4x4 ball joints changed + do not want to go to local auto parts store to rent a set every month, this is you'r best choice.

I am a professional automotive repair technician. I use this tool on many different vehicles. From Ford Taurus to E.450 Ford ambulance ball joints. The tool works as should and I like it. The instructions are hard to read and only give you a vague description on how to do ball joints so prior knowledge is definitely useful. Someone I work with said the C-Press is an OTC knock-off. That would actually be a good thing since the OTC press is a really good one and doesn't stretch or bend like the cheap ones do. I would recommend this to a friend. If I have any issues I will update my review. The adapters all work great and are of good quality. The case is nice with the names of all the adapters molded into the case.

Great tool for the price, about 200.00 with shipping. A lot of adapters and the laminate instructions are easy to understand. Changed lower ball joints on a crown vic easily. The kit is made in Taiwan, which is higher quality steel over China. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, most other kits do not have this. This company also manufactures tools for snap-on, so I postulated it was of high quality and it is so far. I hope this review helps.
