How to replace Jeep JK Ball Joints - Synergy Ball Joints - FULL TUTORIAL 

Hope you enjoy this installation video! Dont forget to SUBSCRIBE!! #jeepwave

No BS, no annoying music in backround, no flat jokes, just straight to the point! Thanks, you gave me the strength to do this myself, i'm changing mine this weekend!

If you live in a region that gets rust. DON’T try to remove your ABS/wheel speed sensor. It will break inside the unit bearing. Sometimes you can drill it out but you might have to get an entire new hub and bearing assembly depending on how stuck it is. Instead, just simply disconnect the wire from behind the strut tower and you can remove the axle with the sensor still inside as one price.

One of the best How to's I've encountered on any subject !!

Excellent video. Great pace, lots of detail, no wasted time. WELL DONE!

I like how you used simple hand tools instead of expensive power tools. Great video.

I replaced both sides, upper and lower ball joints on my JK, by watching your video....it went well, ran into a snag getting my drive shaft out of the axle...it was frozen at the face by the knuckle, used some heat and persuasion...finally got it free...replaced the universal joints on the drive shafts while I had them out...cheap and easy fix...my hardest part was the press I used and the fender flares...made it challenging getting the top ball joints in... If I had a lift I could use my impact wrench...would have made light work of this. This video was spot on and extremely accurate and informative.... Great video Thnx

Bro. I legit blew out my ball joint yesterday and got crazy death wobble because of it. Talk about perfect timing to drop this video man. Btw that Jeeps passenger side axle seal is gone. You can see all the diff fluid on the knuckle. Def’n needs to be changed but it’s a huge pita to do.

Very informative and helpful video! Perfect camera angles, great explanation of the work you’re performing, great teacher. Thank you 🙏

I've watched numerous videos on this by the "pros" and yours is by far the best!

Really awesome video. Most of the required detail without a bunch extra yacking. I had it on my iPad as I did the install. I went with the Rare Parts ball joints. They’re pricy but recommended by one of the guys from Metal Cloak. I did have a slight interference between the lower ball joint and the axle knuckle. The first side just required filing down the grease fitting (cup in this case). The second side (driver side), I had to do a little grinding on the knuckle to keep it from rubbing. One issue that I had that I had not seen mentioned elsewhere, when I removed the first side axle, gear oil came pouring out of the tube. For the second side I drained out some of the diff fluid. It wasn’t an issue for the second side. Install went well and test drive felt good.

Best install video I have ever seen. ....and I have watched thousands! Very clear and no skipped steps!! Fantastic work!

An excellent straight to the point video on how to change ball joints....... cheers to you mate.....

Absolutely perfect - great info & details, direct and to the point. I was able to follow along and replaced my ball joints on my Jeep myself & saved about $1k!

Great video AD! Followed it step by step! Could not have done it without you! Beware of those speed sensors! They’re sensitive!

15:49 "Get rid of all this shit" as he cleans the shaft. Lmao 🤣 I think that's the first time I've heard Dex curse on his videos.

Was a little intimidated doing ball joints and u joints on my jk but after watching this I feel a little better about it. Nice work dude!

Great how to video. Saves much time, that means less time in Haynes and Chilton books. Thanks keep them coming.

Just picked up a used JK. My first Jeep! Your videos are great and help me tackle DIY upgrades and mods. Keep it up!

Outstanding video. Thanks. I am doing mine tomorrow just like shown in your lecture.

Man getting that knuckle off was a job in itself on mine lol. Very good informative video man!

Just ordered some teraflex ball joints. Will be changing in a week. Great video

Hey Dex… just wanted to say thanks for this video and your video on the tie rod and drag link! Also, thanks for the heads up on the Jeep ball joint adapters, it made light work!

my 2007 had different but sizing. only the 12 pt 13mm were as in video but - 45 mins later viola - thanks... also heads up if yours has never been performed - and you are indeed FYI -ing it - order the at least 3 12 pt hub bolts - they will snap and then you can spend 15-30 mins extracting... what fun that is..

Great video Bud! Thanks for the complete walk through for us newbs!

my favorite job to do on a jeep! great video

Hey AdventureDex, next time that you do this, make sure that you CLEAN your work area!! Please!!! And that axle seal is definitely BAD!!! Don't ever do a job just half way. I used to be a mechanic, and I would NEVER leave a job half done!!! I now have to watch these videos from my bed. I have ALS!! I am unable to do anything for myself. I watch your videos all the time!! Thanks for sharing these vids!! I enjoy them, very much. Thanks again!! Keep it up.

Thanks for the video,. Your video saved me a lot of time on my 07 jk....

Thanks for another great video. I've never used a ball joint press and this really helped

Fantastic video. I'm confident I can change mine out myself now.

saved video and you saved me hundreds , thanks

Having the right tools it rally makes a difference , cool videos bro.

Good video dex get better hammer please

Nice video, I need to know what BALL JOIINT TOLL KIT used. I need to do replaces my ball joints on my JK.

Thank you very much for this video. Amazing. Regards from Costa Rica.

Just had these installed. The steering felt strange at first. Feels better now - i guess the new ball joints take a day or so to break in (loosen up vs the old ball joints).

Man ..you have helped me so much...thanks for your videos

What Ball joint press kit did you use? There's a lot of kits online and its difficult to figured out which is suitable for the JK

Looks like that Jeep also has a leaking axel seal. Should have replaced it while you had the steering knuckle off.

Great video

I'm doing this job today with synergy ball joints too. Great information in this video bro! Thank you for sharing it... one thing is for sure, nobody can look cool while setting up a ball joint press. Awkward A.F....

nice video! thanks from japan

Very helpful video, thanks! Two things to mention though, the ABS sensor almost always breaks off when attempting remove it, instead of removing it I unplug the wire and leave it in. Also the axle bearing seals are known for going bad on Wranglers and it looked like you had some differential oil in yours when you pulled the axle out. If they show signs of leaking, replacing them wouldn't take much more work while changing the ball joints. Again, great vid and thanks!

Awesome video Dex, thanks for sharing.

Awesome video man!! Great energy.. I now have the confidence to do my own ball joints

Excellent video!

Excellent vid man. Thanks for help.

At the 12:12 mark you mentioned a tapered adapter to fit the shape of the C. Any tips on where to find? Also, difference between smooth and knurled? I have a stock ‘07 JKU. Great video all around.

I love the teraflex ball joints nice little penny for them but well worth it

Thanks for vid. Straight to the meat and patatos of install.👍

I just had my ball joints replaced under my extended warranty on my JK, it nice to see what they were.

put ball joint in freezer a few days before install makes go in easier

Great video bro

Thanks for the vid

Great instructional video! Thanks!

I found it super helpful. Thanks

thank you!

that was a great installation hey you can use my Jeep as a model it's always something with my Jeep I have the sensor but I haven't replaced it it's a P0128 code but its not leaking or running hot i'm gonna have to take the wheel off to get to it. when ever you have one come up do a sensor video I already changed both camshaft sensors and a crankshaft sensor it's always one after the other

If you replaced the ball joints at home would you have to get the steering realigned, I know that doing almost any front end work you do but what about if you’re just replacing ball joints

great video, hey when can we expectd an air compressor intall, summer time is almost here, and the trails are ready? OlllO

Great video, but the one thing that bothered me is why is that shock just hanging on the floor?

Solid vid brother 👍🏽

Thanks,,, excellent job.

Did you rent a kit or did you purchase one? If so, which one did you buy as I need to also replaced my JK ball joints due to death wobble. Thank you

Very helpful man! Thank you

What was the ball joint press you used and what was the added unit that you used on the upper ball joint

hi! Are you interested in testing new LED tail lights for JK ?

Yes there are 2 rubber stops my original spare tire was against them now I have about an inch gap

Perfect video. Thanks

Nice video man!

Hey dude first of all love your videos very informative 👍 but got to ask where are you from I've never heard that accent from anywhere 🤔just trying to place it 😉

better to install the top ball joint first. My ball joint press is hitting the spring (08 lifted wrangler unlimited) and making it hard to use. You can always flip it upside down to do the lower and you won't need to utilize the hole where the upper ball joint goes.

Awesome video!

Great video thanks!

What are the torque specs for the 3 bolts on the steering knuckle

Good video how ever you should be using metric sockets not standard.

No need to drain the front differential fluid?

Great informative video. good attitude!

Good job how long take to do front ball joints?

Great and very through installation

I just finished mine and now have the right and left speed sensor code on my code reader and also several dash lights. Brake, abs, stability control. Any ideas would help as I try to reassemble it. And thanks for the vid

Good job. Thanks.

Great video!!!!!

Good job🖒😉

You should check the diff fluid it looks like it’s leaking out the tube

Are all these steps the same for a 2008 jk 2WD?

Great video! But count on Dodge to do every ass backwards.

Well done, thank you.

ive seen on other videos they took the big axle nut off , why didnt you have to take it off?

Wow, how many miles did that Jeep have? Great vid btw.

great video!

How is it possible to do this without removing the tie rod and drag link if you have to take both steering knuckles off

Can you provide the link to replace the steering parts?

Great video. Out of curiosity, how do you like the Synergy ball joints after all this time? I'm looking at getting some and would like some feedback. Thanks in advance.

How long does it take to replace all four ball joints
