I haven't heard anything good about the Synergy joints, if fact, most talk about them is negative.
I'll be using Spicers when I get around to finishing up the axle.

I know it's not a yj, but I installed moogs into my jk, I can't complain about them yet, they do everything a ball joint does, and I picked it up local at autovalue.

X2 for moog ball joints, in my XJ Dana30. Have seen plenty of abuse, and stood the test of time.
Got them at Auto Value also.

I wouldn't consider anything but Spicer but I'm pretty narrow minded when it comes to ball and U joints.

Moogs work, but if you are going to get them, you should at least order them out of the states for half the money.

Hell, even delivered to your door they are half price.

Spicers off amazon.com are dirt cheap, specially if you have prime.

Unfortunately anywhere but local if money is tight.
