Ok so so far it drives likes shit

This is kinda vague - Does it wander on the road or is it just a rough ride?

 

[MR.Ty]

Any plans for a 4WD conversion?

ok sorry, it's a lot, it wonders around in the highway, it use to shake the steering wheel at about 35mph and not at 70mph, had the Synergy ball joints installed, tires rebalanced, and re aligned
, now the steering wheel never shakes, and now the whole vehicle shakes like a small vibration at about 75mph, it could be a death wobble, not sure and i do not want to take the dual stabilizer off until i fix the other problems it has. tie rod and drag link need replacement and shocks are shot, leaking fluid.
and for the conversion to 4wd, not really.
just wanna make sure i don't need anything else like a drag link flip kit or a track bar relocation kit or a synergy drag link flip adapter., oh and the vehicle came with an adjustable track bar, don't know what company yet., thanks guys

Could you go out and snap a picture of the front end - showing the draglink and trackbar?
Do you have adjustable front control arms?

You will probably need to relocate the drag link and the track bar

ok sorry, it's a lot, it wonders around in the highway...

Wandering is a caster issue or I should say, a lack there of especially on taller lifts. IF your kit came with adjustable front upper and lower control arms, you can use the lowers to set your axle position and use the uppers to set your caster to a more reasonable +4 deg. IF you only got adjustable lower arms, you can just set them a bit longer - about 23" eye to eye will be a good starting point. IF you don't have either, you will want to get a set of adjustable front lowers at the very least to take care of this.

A speed related shake or shimmy in the steering wheel is almost always a tire balancing issue. Your new ball joints most likely did nothing to address this and, unless you have adjustable suspension and steering components, you most likely paid your alignment shop to do nothing. Sorry, but it's the truth.

and now the whole vehicle shakes like a small vibration at about 75mph...

The the vibration oscillate or is it constant?

...it could be a death wobble

Trust me, you would KNOW it if you had death wobble. If you have guess at it, you definitely DO NOT have death wobble.

...not sure and i do not want to take the dual stabilizer off until i fix the other problems it has. tie rod and drag link need replacement and shocks are shot, leaking fluid.

Taking off your stabilizers shouldn't make a difference. IF you really have death wobble, you would know for sure with them off and it's typically what I recommend you do to help solve it.

Before you start throwing more money at your Jeep, you really should slow down and isolate what you really need. Name brand parts are just that and they won't fix a thing unless you know what needs to be fixed.

The vibration is not constant, sometimes it's strong. The thing is I really need all does parts, maybe not that brand but after reading reviews I rather get does. In the pic I did the string test to notice the parallel lines bettrr.

If it's NOT constant as in it comes and goes and comes and goes, you most likely have a drive shaft that is out of balance.

None of the parts you have listed will address your vibration problem.

Seen I order the drag link do I need these

Did you make sure to order a track bar relocation bracket too? If not, you will need one to go with your drag link flip.

 

[srosario]

I'm not sure I order a drag link flip, I order these part

 

[wayoflife]

I'm not 100% sure but, I'm pretty sure you are just getting the flipped drag link. You NEED a track bar relocation bracket with a drag link flip. The sleeve you posted up earlier is only needed if you make the hole in your knuckle too wide.

 

[srosario]

Ok so I just read the instructions and I have the option to do a stock configuration or a high steer drag link flip, I guess I'm staying with the stock configuration?.

I was told by (The shop)
That the drag link and track bar have to be as parallel to the (GROUND OR AXLE OR ROAD) as possible. That's why I should buy every part that drops the driver side and rises the pasenger end side.
Is any of these true.

 

[chipper]

This is the relocation bracket. I just installed this setup in my jeep. It makes your draglink and trackbar parallel to each other

 

[srosario]

But by wat im reading i dont need it cause my bars are parrellel already.

 

[chipper]

Take a few more pics of the front so we can get a better look. That bracket will be needed if you plan to FLIP the draglink so it is on top of the knuckle on the passenger side.

 

[srosario]

I don't plan on flipping the drank link, cause I don't think I need it, everything looks parralel already, now, hopefully with the new shocks it stays the same,
