My wife has a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have to replace the upper control
arm ( The Boomerang ) Do you have a video for that part ?
What year is this vehicle ?
Great! Thanx Jerry
Very informative how to vid. I replaced all my control arms 6 months ago
before i seen your video. I wasn’t aware that the Bushing Lip was to face
the inside so i checked mine and i have 3 control arms w/lips facing the
wrong way, what is the Harm if i leave them that way? Haven’t noticed
anything different in the ride.
Liked the video, and its giving me the confidence to move forward to
replace the front lower control arms with adjustable ones. ( i have a small
lift). With that you jacked up the jeep… Were your stands on the frame to
let the suspension hang or under the axle tube?
This job is a million times easier to do when your bolts aren’t bent up
from hitting a boulder. But basic instruction helped. Thanks
your video sucks you don’t even show the removal of the control arms.
hi i have a 98 jeep grand cherokee and my question is . i only need to fix
my passenger side arm bar do i have to weld anything because my bar isnt
broken its just hanging . the piece that holds it up snapped .
The strap works for lining up the bolt holes but a floor Jack under the
front of the rear end is much much faster. FYI.
do u know what size bolts r on the upper rear control arms i need
replacements
hi, do you need jack stands to do the upper control arms or you just can
replace them with the car on the ground ???
Plenty of it, I’m bout to have a bitchin time. I’ve got more work needing
done on my jeep than it’s even worth but I love it so much and you’ve got a
video for about everything, so why the hell not? Cheers!
Great video, did each side in 10 minutes flat…impact wrench helped and to
align the control arms, just use a screw driver, no need for the winch.
Thanks!
THAT IS STRANGE THAT THE ARMS ARE GONE BUT THE FRAME MOUNTS LOOK GREAT.ON
MINE ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.THE FRAME IS RUSTED FROM INSIDE OUT.LOOKED
FINE LAST YEAR,THEN THIS YEAR THE INSPECTION GUY TOOK A HAMMER TO IT AND
THEN SHOWED ME IT WAS ALL RUSTED OUT AND OF COURSE NOW ALL BASHED IN.WTF IS
THIS A NEW INSPECTION RULE TO TAKE HAMMERS TO PEOPLES CARS.MY SISTERS CAR
ROCKER PANALS LOOKED FINE BUT THE GUY BASHED IT IN WITH A HAMMER TO SHOW
HER IT WAS RUSTING OUT.CHECK HIS HEAD FOR RUST SAME WAY
They are the same part. So if you order 2 of them, you can put them on
either side. I just double checked a few other sites on the net, and they
said the same thing. So you should be just fine.
Anyways I am adding adjustable control arms to my jeep tonight, maybe
tomorrow night… any advice, if I only have ONE jack lift lol (no jack
stands)… 96 ZJ
It was crazy. I bought it from lady when it was already broken, so i only
had to drive it a mile or so. But i could feel the back axle shifting
around. It was almost like driving on ice. I did it at night and went
really slow though, to not cause extra damage. Check amazon (link in video
description) if you want some low cost replacements for your ZJ.
I linked some from Amazon. Usually they arent too expensive.
Its a pretty easy repair, have fun w/ those bolts!
I spent most of last summer fixing 2 Grand Cherokees up. Ive replaced
pretty much every single part imaginable. lol, have fun man! let me know if
you have questions.
Nice man! Big tools sure do speed things up 😉
I’m ordering those uppers soon. My drivers side feels like its about to
snap too. I could crush the middle of it with one hand If I wanted
too..haha its not too strong anymore
You’ll be fine, as long as the car sits far enough off the ground so you
can slip under it, you really don’t even need a jack. I jacked up the frame
to give me a little more room, but i left the tires touching the ground.
What year is this on?
Remember you are looking at the highlight footage. lol, i spend most of my
unrecorded time with slipping wrenches and punching metal.
ITS MUCH BETTER TO FIND OUT YOU HAVE RUST FROM SOME GUY WITH A HAMMER, THAN
IT IS TO FIND OUT ON THE FREEWAY AT 80MPH.
The jeep I just got has the bad bushings, feels like the front axle shifts
front to rear. Shifts so bad it is causing the tires to rub on the fenders
under hard braking. You didnt have to jack the jeep up to remove the lower
control arms? awesomeThanks for the video
Thanks for the video! I’ve been driving my ’94 ZJ with both upper control
arms broken out for over two months and this video is finally giving me the
motivation to fix them!
Okay, thanks for the videos you post, seems everything wrong with your jeep
is wrong with mine, so I will be following your videos until I get the
kinks worked out. This is greatly appreciated and thanks for the quick
reply. I pulled the right rear axle because of my suspected bad bearing,
turned out the axle was ruined, the bearings were gone, grease seal was in
pieces, so had to hit the junk yard, if you need help with that hit me up
on here
lol, ya… the sooner the better!
Yeah haha im ordering them tomorrow. Are the rear uppers the same exact
part? Like should I order 2 of those dorman control arms or is there a
different one for each side?
Why does EVERYTHING seem to be so much easier when you are on youtube,
looking at how to’s with someone working on their jeep, and you go to yours
and it never goes as easy as you just saw it lol SOMETHING always happens
Thanks for the vid, I just found out that i need new control arms
Thanks for posting just bought a 94 JGC last week and found out today both
of them were rusted and cracked! Your video was a life-safer! My bolts were
rusted too-RUST DOES SUCK!
