Yeah same question. I am under the impression that Synergy are the best, but AlloyUSA are still way better than stock. I have not seen any issues with either and based on price the Alloy joints are a better deal. I'd like to hear if anyone has actually had problems with either brand.

Synergy and Dynatrac are the only two I would run.

Quadratec has them for pretty much the same price so that's no big deal and for what I have read the synergy were better just wanted some first hand reviews

I am replacing my ball joints, and had the same question. I called Northridge4x4 and they said to go with Synergy, so I ordered the Synergy ball joints and Synergy Draglink.

As already mentioned here Synergy or Dynatrac are the only way to go.

Dynatrac will be the best joint, however Synergy is the best bang for your buck. PM us if you would like pricing.

I have ran both synergy and usa alloy, both are quality balljoints, when usa alloy first released theres synergy complained about there patent was copied so usa changed there's a bit. There both basically the same balljoint still but due to lower balljoint on the usa alloy you can't run RCV axles and synergy you can. I sold my first jeep with synergys and never had a bit of issue with them. My jeep now I run the USA alloys for 50K now and same result, no issues. The USA alloys are a bit stiff when first installed, takes a bit to break in where I didn't have that issue with synergys, I do use a quality synthetic grease (mobil 1).
