X2 on this, also be careful reinstalling the shafts. I knocked my driver side diff seal out of place and had diff fluid leaking out onto the c gusset after the instal.

I've got almost 40K running 37s on my Synergy/Poly Performance ball joints, absolutely no complaints here.

Synergy and the Zerk fitting on the lower joints don't interfere with the U joints since they canted.

I just installed ATX Slabs which have 3.5" of backspacing and I aquired some bad death wobble. Already had an EVO flip kit on it and everything was perfect. I could move my lower ball joint like it was a joy stick. Replaced them with Synergy ball joints and holy crap did they change the ride! My Jeep no longer wanders, jolts, or follows dips. Now my Jeep drives like a one ton truck. If you've tried everything to fix your steering and are still having problems, you probably need new ball joints. I mean the stock ones are plastic after all...

I have the synergy front upper and lowers which solved my DW. Drive feels solid and stable too. A good buy plus they are greasable. Called dave at Northridge and got em in 2 days.
