Which Ball Joints?
 
Which ball joints do you recommend to replace the OEM joints?
Looking for good joints, but not liking the price of the Dynatrac's. Are they worth it?
Will another brand last under moderate wheeling? I am not the extreme offroader, but I like crawling on some rocks.
I see Alloy USA on Amazon for $120.

There are already many bj threads but I'll save you the time of searching for/ through them.

Get synergy, alloy is ok but not quite synergy standard, dyna's are good but quite pricey and even they can fail (though they can be rebuilt for a premium).

I just saved you 10 minutes.....use it wisely.

I recommend Synergy! They're holding up great in my jeeps.

Give me a shout any time for forum discounted pricing!

Another for synergy!
Have them in my jeeps. They have lasted a long time.

Definitely worth 2 bills. :$

Running synergy here!

Dynatrac's are the best however pricey. The rebuild kits are almost as much as a new Synergy kit.

Synergy are the best bang for your buck. We run Synergy and have not had any problems. We installed the Synergy after the last axle we broke which took out the ball joints.

Yeah but if your not spending money, trying different components then your just Rusting. lol......

Not quite. I have searched a few times. Not much comparison of the cheaper joints. Thank you though.

Do you know how Synergy are different from Alloy, Teraflex or any of the other cheaper joints? Aside from price, I didn't find much.
