Because I was tired of replacing ball joints out on the trail. Last year Synergy didn’t have their adjustable ball joints ready. I got wind of the delete set up and started researching and talking with the guy who makes them. The deletes are rebuildable with out having to press anything in or out of axle C. I like that. Nothing to grease, I like that too. Many of the krawler buggies using them with their 1 tons. I figure its worth a shot to try them.What was the deciding factor for ball joint deletes vs others?

Yes...on factory D44. There is the 'cup', which is pressed into the upper and lower C knuckles. Inside is a teflon bearing. The teflon bearing is held in by a beefy c-clip. If and when it fails, you remove c-clip and remove teflon bearing and install new one. Similiar to a king pin set up.I'm assuming you're still on the factory axle?
Also, what parts inside allow for wear? Is it not a ball/socket style joint? Something has to give over time, so I'm trying to understand how these things work to do that.
No and no. I would say look up the company and check them out. You can ask the designer all the questions you want. I am saying this because I am not the ambassador or sponsored by the co. and I don’t want to mislead because I am not an expert.interesting, looks like a much easier rebuild over dynatrac prosteers.
no rubber boots? what about greasing?

The rebuild process is much easier than the Dynatrac joints. The systems have a viton O ring seal and a machined shim on the top of each assembly which keeps debris from wearing the bearing prematurely. The bottom is not sealed to allow any moisture to exit the assembly which is a good thing. F1 fit PFTE (Teflon) self lubricated bearings are used to keep operation smooth and extend the life of the bearing. All systems are backed by a 2 year/30,000 mile warranty which will replace any worn out spherical bearings or broken/damaged hardware during use. No one else in the industry will put a warranty on a driveline component that I’m aware of.

All the hardware is custom spec’d hardened 4340.
Ha...that would take a while. Do not put many miles on.Please post up reports every 5k on these if you don’t mind. Curious as to wear/wobble over time. Thanks!
