Default drag link ball joint (passenger side)

Hi All, looking at options to replace my passenger drag link ball joint as its stuffed. The one on the pitman arm is okay (replaced under warranty before it ran out). Are the ball joints in these replaceable? Have done a search on here and someone has done an injection to the ball joint, have pm'd them to see how that's holding up.

I am running 3" lift with stock rims, JKU. What are your thoughts about "SYNERGY - JEEP JK HIGH STEER DRAG LINK" ? Happy to just replace ball joint if I could.

Cheers,

CP

Synergy drag link will fit into the orginal location but if your using a factory offset rim will rub.

If you are running a 3" lift, a high steer kit isn't a bad idea. But like DBOR said, gotta watch the rubbing with the rims depending on offset and brand.

Also a high steer requires 3" bump stop and I was looking at it and I think a track bar bracket would also be necessary according to synergy

Thanks guys, already running 3" bump stops at the front. Rang Jeep yesterday, they wanted a bit over $200 for the Inner socket drag link, you can't get a replacement ball joint on its own. Theres a mob near my place that rebuilds ball joints for under $100, have been told that injection is perfectly legal and they'll provide 2 years warranty. hmmmm...... might save the coins for future axle upgrade and just rebuild this ball joint for now.
