He is telling you how easy their new arms are to adjust. step 1 install them on the jeep. step 2 adjust to the needed length. step 3 remove the arms. step 4 put in your big shop vise and crank down the jam nuts. step 5 reinstall the arms. Not as easy as the synergy or off road evolution arms that have a single end double adjuster with lock nut.

Not to mention that you now have to stock a garage full of grease guns to be able to service your Synergy balls with Synergy grease, RK grease for RK joints and RCV grease for your RCV shafts. I about hate the grease bullshit. How about using standard assed #2 grease like we've used for 200 years!?

I'm not saying I can't do it nor that I haven't done it, because I have multiple times. It's not really a big deal, but it is a pain in the ass.
What you're failing to mention is the lack of a wrench flat or anyway to hold the joint in place as you tighten the jam nut. What you describe is like explaining how to replace a clutch is easy. Step 1. Remove transmission step 2. Remove clutch step 3. Replace clutch step 4. Replace transmission. Sure, it's not brain surgery, but it is frustrating.

He mentioned it when he said put it in your bench vice. 2 work better or a setup like kjeeper10 has done. But really it isn't that hard to get the joints straight and everything tightened. Again 2 vices is best as you can put both ends in a vice and wrench away.

I was thinking the same as you with the wrench flat if it was on the tube. Would make it easy to do it on the vehicle itself cutting down some time of crawling in and out from under the jeep.

The axle side fork shouldnt be as hard to keep center. Now you are left with the frame side joints.

Great customer service ...NOT
Hey Lally, please shoot me a message so I can look into what happened with your order.
