How to Install Ball Joints on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator with Heavy Duty ones by Synergy

While ball joints are designed to last a long time on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator, running big tires mounted on wheels with a lot less back spacing will cause them to wear out prematurely. Of course, this is especially true with factory ball joints as they have internal components that are made out of plastic and when they do wear out, they can cause loose steering, poor handling or worse, death wobble. Fortunately, replacing ball joints isn't that hard to do and as luck would have it, Synergy now makes heavy duty replacement joints that are greaseable and feature a 100% metal on metal design. In other words, they'll offer a much greater service life and at a price that isn't too cost prohibitive. In this video, I'll show you just how easy it is to change out your ball joints and for the most part, with just a basic set of tools.
A BIG THANKS needs to go out to Synergy for sending these us these ball joints for the purposes of testing and review.

Great videos, love your shop and rig. I ran synergy HDs in a JK for a while, I made the mistake of installing knurled joints early on and they were a pain to press in! Now I know why. They lasted a few years but failed recently, then by coincidence I noticed on their website they had recalled my version of the joints due to premature wear, I called them up and they immediately sent a set of the newest ones, great customer service by synergy! Interesting to hear your opinion on rebuildable joints, I would have thought you could get a few more thousand miles out of them after tightening them up before replacement that should work out cheaper over time? Appreciate all your videos and forum info! It has saved me many times! Keep up the good work.

@wayalife 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you and that's great to hear. Regarding rebuildable joints, they are nice but there's no way I've found to actually rebuild them on a Jeep and being that the rebuild kits cost as much as new joints, I figure it's just as easy to install new ones being that I have to pull them anyway. But, that's just me.

Great video. I installed the Synergy rebuildable ball joints back in April or May of this year on my 2018 JLUR. They were the only ball joints Synergy had available at the time. I'm happy with them. I needed ball joints, and I wasn't going to put factory junk back in. Your cassette hubs came out of your knuckles a lot easier than they came out of mine. I had a hell of a time getting them out. The one Knuckle had corroded to the hub. After I got the bad side apart (heat, axle puller), it took me a couple hours to scrape all the aluminum oxide off the cassette hub. It was a real pain. I put never seize on those mating surfaces. I really enjoy how you present a job on your Jeep. Your videos are very helpful. Take care!

I only saw ONE thing you did wrong… mechanics don’t smile that much. 😉 thanks for sharing. I had my steering and suspension ASE certification but truly it’s just a piece of paper for peace in the mind. I was doing so many ball joints back 15 years ago, I quite literally didn’t need a torque wrench on the castle nut. I did it by feel. And I was so confident I had 2 buddies and the snap-on guy check it. Dead on. I used to be an OK mechanic… but I’ve digressed. In more ways than one!!! Thanks for memory jolt. Stay safe.

More than likely, your ball joints are fine. We have over 60k on the odometer and our ball joints didn't really need to be changed out and this in spite of running wheel spacers on top of beadlocks with a lot less back spacing for most of those miles. As I state in the video, that will cause your ball joints to wear out "pre-maturely" but that is not the same as right away. Factory ball joints with stock wheels can last over 100k.

With your JL/JT wheeling experience have you witnessed or had any friends with JL/JT with any problems of the aluminum knuckles wollowed out? If replacing ballpoints i think i may consider the factory steel knuckles (like those on diesel JT) or aftermarket steel knuckles from Reid Racing. What do you think?

I have learned so much from u! Just a tip put your tires under the jeep when you work on it just incase you have maximum failer and supper important to do this on the trail when u don't have extra jack stands Would love to see u do a video on that you would get it out to so many people and could save arms legs or even a life It's even free to do 🙂

Great tip on the trail for sure and I may just have to address in the future that but in my garage and on jacks stands... honestly, I don't know how much that's really needed especially when I was never under the Jeep.

Thanks for sharing Eddie! I always feel better about doing this kind of work after watching your videos! Any reason you went back to the OE steering stabilizer? Only asking cause I have that Fox TS sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.
@wayalife
@wayalife 2 жыл бұрын
Glad you find our videos to be helpful. Regarding steering stabilizers, I've always found that OE works best and I wasn't thrilled about the aluminum tie-rod clamp that Fox provides. Mine got beat to all hell and I almost couldn't get it off.

@@wayalife Thanks for the response Eddie! Looks like Synergy came out with an "adapter kit" (which is just a screw and washer) that can be used with their tie-rod clamp. Think I'll give it a shot! We'll see how it goes 🙂

I thought jeep moved to HD ball joints on this model , to address issues/concerns that were on JK .
@wayalife
@wayalife 2 жыл бұрын
To be fair, they do seem better and even after 60k miles, mine still seemed ok but even Spicer makes an upgraded HD ball joint to replace what is used on a factory axle.

Great informative video as usual! Love the content and have learned quite a bit despite not owning a jeep. But what really stands out in your videos besides the great production is that all your vehicles are well kept. When you took the wheel off And if I’ve never seen any of your videos I would think you never offroad any of them their so clean. Great job as usual.

Yes. We reused our factory ones and they had over 60k miles hard miles on them. I should note, they were still okay too.
