i'd say Timken for the hubs

timken hubs and you can wait for synergy suspension ball joints to come out. if you need them now get spicer replacements

Fitz4238 · Feb 6, 2011

Thanks for the info. When are the synergy ball joints due out?

im curious whats supposed to be so rave about the synergy joints?

They already came out. You can get them from poly performance according to the pirate4x4 site. They look to have a better ball joint and their only 250 for all four which is a pretty good deal.

I use Timkin for hubs and Moog for just about everything else.

1990JEEPXJ · Feb 7, 2011

here is the info on the synergy ones. and they are only out for the JK dana 30, not the ones used in XJ's.

Napa premium series ball joints are very high quality.

I use Timken hub bearings (around $70-80) and Spicer ball joints. You can get the kit with both upper and lower for around $50.

My jeep has 190k on it never thought about the ball joints
How often should they be done???
What about adjustable ball joints for camber adjustment???

1990JEEPXJ · Feb 8, 2011

adjustable ball joints can adjust caster and camber depending on how you put them in

Per side you mean? I just bought spicers (left and right, top and bottom) from alljeep.com for $80.

^^ Everything made in america and way cheaper than premiums at the parts store. At least for me.
Balljoints go for spricers. Completeoffroad sells them for cheap.

Timken for hubs you can get them from autozone with a liftetime warranty
