That’s not a viable solution. Seems like a defect and Synergy should send you a replacement. Not too many people have a press sitting around in a garage. Also not sure why it would need to be lubed more than once or twice per year. I like the improvements to steering feel, but the aluminum steering brace will be removed if these types of problems occur.
That is the route I took...Installed, had issues with the bearing sub assembly before ever even driving, removed the bearing sub assembly, thought about how this really works and then removed the complete Synergy brace and sold it at half price. I took a close look at my factory trackbar bracket and welds looked excellent-probably did not need a brace for 35's but added the Rancho trackbar support brace (no bearing) and it fit perfectly. After install (used four new steering box bolts per FCA recommendations anytime steering gear bolts are removed) and torquing to specs, I could use just two fingers to slide the trackbar bolt through both sides of the Rancho bracket.
I would really love for a senior Jeep chassis engineer to chime in with his thoughts on an aftermarket sector shaft 'bearing support'...Including warranty concerns and any potential steering safety and or liability issues...
