Since I am basically having to pull the front axle to repair the shock mount to suit me :bang:, I am going ahead with a great deal of front-end work, like upgrading to v-8 ZJ components.

The ball joints are shot, and I have heard from many the stock replacements are lousy. :confused:

But Moog has "premium" ball joints, and of course, there are the Synergy ones.

Who has experience with the Moog ball joints? Are the Synergy ones worth the $$?

Thanks for the info, think I will give those a try, and save the Synergy ones for next. Budget is going pretty fast, and I still have some parts to buy!

Well.......:rolleye0012:

Checking at the local chain stores, the Moog ball joints (for both upper and lower) are more than the Synergy set :bang:

To the Interwebs! :character0028:

Looks like Rock Auto has got good prices...I have only bought a few "rare" things from them (hard to find throwout bearings, etc), most of the other stuff is quality?
