Synergy DL flip adapter

WJCO said:

Before you installed the insert, did you happen to put it on the tapered stud to see if it fit? Since it is sold in a kit like that, you would think that parts are all correct.

I had the same issue with mine and just kept cranking until I could get the cotter pin in. Ended up selling the whole kit and now have EVO DL flip. :thumb:

Very carefully open up the hole a little more with a die grinder or dremmel. I mean very carefully. Little at a time you absolutely do not want to over bore it. I think synergy has a thicker adapter if you go too much but better to go a little at a time and test fit. It won't take much.

I am installing the synergy drag link and adapter with no success. Drilled out my oem knuckle w to 7/8 with a step bit. Installed the synergy tre adapter. Had to give it a light tappy tap to get it in. Installing the tre did not go so well. Would not push into the adapter easily so I put an oversized socket over the top to give it a little persuasion. Got it down far enough to catch a couple threads w the castle nut. Thought I could bring the tre down w the castle nut. It's not working out. I got several turns out of it but it is definitely to tight and I am afraid that if I keep going something is going to get damaged. Any thoughts???

If I remember right the directions say to use a step bit of your not using an adaptor if using the adaptor drill with straight 7/8 bit.

It says you used a step bit to drill the knuckle. Did you finish drilling the hole straight with a regular straight bit?

Syngery was tough for me too and I used a dremel afterward. My synergy insert was a bit loose when I was done and it still took alot of force to get the castle nut on far enough to use a cotter pin. Effort involved was significant for a little task (and it made me nervous the whole time) but, I have had zero problems with it.

You shouldn't be tapping it at all if drilled to the correct size. I didn't use a unibit. I kept the bit and hole lubed while I ever so slightly making the hole larger if needed. The directions clearly state not to hammer it in...it should drop in.

I had the same problem and as mentioned I kept on tightening until I got the pin through. After about 6 months with it I have to say I hate synergy drag link. For some reason it gets out of alignment very easily. I have jam nut sold and the clamp bolt tightened fully and still same shit. I plan on getting the Currie down the line.
