Default drag link options??

Had a lot of "fun" today trying to track down a shimmy. Turns out the axle side trac bar was loose. The nut had seized on the bolt and I didn't realize it, so the last time I had it off and then torqued it down, it torqued alright, just not tight! Incredible pain in the arse to get off. Anyways, dealt with that so heres the question...

While I was giving everything a good going over, the only other problem that I could see was that the drag link on the knuckle side had some up and down movement. Not terrible, but I know its not supposed to do this. What are my options to replace? Don't want to spend mega bucks and don't need a flip kit. Also don't want another crappy factory joint. Opinions??

I put the Synergy link on mine and it's a very sturdy unit. Works in either the standard or flip position. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for and I don't think it will need replacement any time soon. Good luck.

Synergy on mine! Like stated above, works great in either stock or flipped position, easy to adjust, and one of the strongest DL on the market!

Another vote for synergy. I ran it in the stock location for quite a while before finally getting around to adding the bracket and flipping.

That's the one I'm going with when I do my flip.

Synergy\poly is top notch

That's a fine set up you have there sir....any discernable difference with the ATS stabilizer over normal ones?

Thanks for the replies. Does the Synergy require you to drill the knuckle out when using it in the stock location? Also, I have the Dominion steering stabilizer relocation bracket..any clearance issues?

Drilling is for the flip. Stock location is stock location, remove the old one and bolt up the new one.

10-4...I'll have to save some coin and upgrade when the factory gets worse. Thanks again for the info.
