993 OE shock special tool
I finally just received the 993 shock tower special tool ordered from Hazet. Prior to this tool I have been just tightening the shock shaft bolt with an impact gun.
This is the same tool the shop manual mentioned to use.
The socket is a Hazet part number 2593 21mm half opened socket.
And a Hazet 2593-1 7mm allen key with handle.
I think total cost were around $60 for both tools.

Forgive me if this is a lame question, but does this tool serve any purpose other than for replacing the shock? Does the bolt work loose and is something I have to check periodically ? Thanks.

Another "Shadetree Mechanic" method.
As I remember, I couldn't find the 21mm socket locally when I was doing my shocks a few years back. Bought a 22mm and shimmed the inside using some of that sheet aluminum sold to patch bodies (type that has some sticky glue on the back). Worked fine. For the Allen key, as I remember I used a long-handle Allen wrench that came as part of a set I bought at Sears ages ago.

Edward,
The only reason I bought the tool is to have "The right tool for the right job", that's all.
I have already done several suspension install without using that tool, but it is always comforting to know that I have the right tool for every job.
To answer your question, no the nut does not work itself loose, and the only time you will need this special tool is if you are planning to do some suspension work, like replacing the shocks, or springs.
