Default 2012 JK Check for problems before lease runs out

Hi All,

I have a 2012 JK 3.6 Unlimited with 105,000k's and its at the end of its lease and I want to give it the "once over" before I finalise the lease and buy it out. (I get a tax saving by doing it before end of lease).

Can you recommend the sorts of things I should check out/replace for reliability/just in case? Not counting the more obvious like rego insurance etc...

I have the following already done:

Synergy ball joints
Front and rear HD track bars
Cylinder head under warranty
New Tyres
Front and rear steel bars
HID Spot lights
Cam PS loom repair
Lifted 2"
Air con unit replaced under warranty

Cheers
Keith

Sorry, didn't make it clear, did tie rods as well.

If Synergy aren't much chop - what Ball joints do you think are best?

Not a hi-jack, just an interested observer in opinions on a better alternative to Synergy ball joints for the JK. My 2010 CRD JKU OEM ball joints were stuffed at 20,000km, replaced with Synergy which were replaced at 84,000 with another set of Synergy joints. I have movement again in the new joints at 105,000 after a 17,000km trip from Melb to Darwin then across the Kimberley including the Gibb, to Perth and back to Melb. Also looking for something more robust than the Synergy ball joints!!!!
