FAQs

An external coil spring compressor is the standard tool — claws or hooks fit around the outside of the coil spring and a threaded rod or hydraulic ram compresses the spring so the strut can be disassembled. Used for most coil-over-strut suspensions (MacPherson struts, etc.). An internal strut compressor is used where the spring is inside a cup or cage — the compressor is fitted from above and below to compress the spring without external claws. Less common in modern automotive applications but used on certain commercial-vehicle and heavy-vehicle suspensions.

Mechanical ball-joint presses use a threaded screw mechanism and adapter cups to push the ball joint out of the steering arm or hub — workable for cars and light vehicles where the ball joint isn't seized solid. Hydraulic ball-joint presses use a 10-tonne hydraulic ram and the same adapter cups — necessary for heavy commercials, plant equipment, and any seized ball joint that won't yield to mechanical force. Trade workshops servicing mixed vehicle types typically have both.

For general workshop and fleet use, a calibrated dial or digital gauge accurate to ±2% of full scale is the trade standard — meeting most fleet-pressure-check requirements. For tyre-bay professional use and ATA-certified work, ±1% gauges are available and may be required by the scheme. For commercial and HGV applications where pressures run to 10 bar (145 PSI), use a gauge with a scale that accommodates the higher pressure rather than over-reading a low-pressure gauge. Calibration certificates are available where required.

Yes. Replacement parts — bead-breaker pads, mounting heads, demount tools, balancer cones, and weight kits — are available for the majority of Sealey and SIP tyre changers and balancers. Search by the machine model code. Air-supply consumables (chucks, gauges, hose reels) are available across the standard sizes.

Tyre, Wheel & Suspension Repairs

Tyre, Wheel & Suspension Repairs covers the workshop tools used to remove, fit, balance, repair, and service tyres, wheels, and suspension components — tyre inflators and gauges, ball-joint tools, spring compressors, suspension separators, wheel-handling equipment, and the consumables and accessories used alongside them. Parts For Machines supplies trade-grade tyre, wheel, and suspension tools for fleet workshops, tyre bays, and vehicle-repair operations. Within this section you will find Vehicle Steering & Suspension Tools (track-rod separators, ball-joint tools, suspension-bush press kits), Vehicle Tyre & Wheels Tools (tyre changers, bead breakers, tyre levers, valve tools), Tyre Inflating Equipment (compressed-air inflators, tyre-inflator gauges, twin-line inflation hoses), Suspension Tools, Ball Joint Tools, Tyre Pressure Gauges, and Spring Compressors. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Sealey and SIP across the tyre, wheel, and suspension repair range. For tyre-sealant and puncture-prevention products, Parts For Machines offers OKO. Air-seal provides compatible inflation accessories — air chucks, gauges, hose reels — used alongside the workshop kit. Product pages list the application (vehicle type, tyre size, suspension type), kit contents (for multi-piece tool sets), capacity ratings (for spring compressors and ball-joint presses, in tonnes), and any working-pressure or air-supply requirements (for pneumatic tools and inflation equipment). Buyers in this section typically know the specific job they're servicing — track-rod end replacement, ball-joint refit, spring compression for strut work, tyre changeover. Filter by the operation needed to narrow down quickly. Spring compressors and suspension tools are professional-use only — observe the rated capacity and the tool's safety guidelines, never attempt suspension work without the correct compressor and safety-cage where required. Trade pricing on multi-tool and tyre-bay fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
