Put it in the Car forum, some only look in there.

ball joint remover, maybe track rod ends. I reckon the peg presses on the end of the threaded stud (preferably with the nut on it a few turns to protect the thread) and the claws go on the housing .

It doesn't look to me to have a big enough throw, or pad, to be for getting bushes out.

How long is it?

12 1/2 inches long
