The Synergy 8009-12 Heavy Duty Ball Joints Dana 30/44 has solved the dreaded “Death Wobble”. Very tight and firm feel to steering after install, something that I was never able to achieve with the stock or “premium” aftermarket ball joints. Serviceable and very high quality materials used in construction by Synergy Manufacturing. Even after daily driver use as well as considerable off road use, these have maintained the same feel as day 1.
They are considerably more expensive than the “Parts Store” brands. However, having larger tires/wheels and a more robust suspension, paying the extra will pay off.
I drive 80+ miles a day on the highway and my job takes me down a lot of utility right of ways. This terrain can be fields, forests, rivers, rocks, valleys and all manner of road conditions. Additionally, as a wrangler owner, I am willing, able and do punish my rig on trails for recreational purposes. So far they have outlasted the last set of factory and I anticipate many hard miles left in them.
