Which part of the synovial joint deteriorates in osteoarthritis?

The first sign of osteoarthritis is the deterioration of synovial cartilage. When the cartilage deteriorates, bones may start rubbing against each other causing severe pain. Further deterioration of the joint causes the synovium (joint lining) to become inflamed, causing additional pain. The joint lining tries to fix this problem by producing more synovial fluid, the slick watery substance that lubricates and nourishes the cartilage. However, often the resulting additional synovial fluid will end up in the joint space, causing swelling.

This is the beginning of osteoarthritis. Without effective treatment, eventually, most of your cartilage will deteriorate and a bone on bone situation will occur, causing the debilitating pain associated with osteoarthritis.
