Yep a bit tight but will give in about 100 miles give or take. Get them done now! Mine were causing DW plus a few other parts but it all starts with one making other parts work harder. Don't want to be on winter roads with bad parts. Talk to Eric at Northridge4x4, great guy, and he'll take care of you! Good luck!

 

The bottom joints on both sides were frozen and a lot of effort to get out. Both hubs were also frozen a gear puller made it easier. Make sure you have the right parts and adapters in your balljoint kit before you start

 

The stupid guides on the stock shafts actually showed useful. Taking the shafts in and out I was very slow and careful maybe they weren't. If mine start leaking that's going to frustrate the hell out of me lol

 

Thank you. What I actually meant was, did you have any issues with the way the jeep drove and handled prior to the new ball joints? If so, what were they and did the ball joints tighten everything up and correct your issues?

 

Driving straight at highway speeds didnt really notice anything. When driving slow and turning I could feel the tires wobbling. I had my buddy jump in and drive in a circle while I watched my tires and I could actually see them wobbling. I good way to check them is to get your tires in the air and stick a crow bar or shovel under them and move them up and down. If theres play then theyre toast

 

I had them done at 4WP too and my drivers seal leaked too after install. Brought it to their attention right away they stood behind their work 100% replaced both seals, all I had to pay was 18.00 for the seals they picked up the rest! Excellent customer service in my books.

Jeep drove just fine when new ball joints installed maybe felt a bit tighter but that's good. Just drive it no worries....

 

This is all great information. Thanks guys.

 

Don't mean to hijack post but I just left 4wp and they are fixing them for free.great customer service.

Picked the jeep up earlier after having my synergy ball joints put in, what a difference!

My front end was very "flighty" and almost loose feeling, this firmed everything up. Bumps on the highway that used to feel like the front end was going to rattle apart on, it soaked it up with ease now.

$580 out the door installed, well worth it.
