Jeep XJ - Upper and Lower Control Arm Replacement

I am not a mechanic, but I do enjoy working on my own vehicles. These videos are intended for general information and guidance. Do your own homework and research before attempting any auto repair. Always consult a professional when in doubt.

Really enjoying your channel. Learned a lot valuable information. Keep the XJ videos coming.

How are the Monroe shocks with offroading? Planning to put them under my cherokee. Good vid!👌🏽

[@swatscorner]

My son drives it to work and school, so I’m not sure too much off-roading gets done! Thanks for watching!

Man i hope mine goes as easy as yours getting bolts out

[@swatscorner]

I was lucky. Just did this again on my 99 and was also lucky. About to do on another 96. Hope yours goes well!

best thing for getting that bushing is a ball joint clamp

[@swatscorner]

As I learned later!! Nightmare

[@matthewzombies1458]

Must be nice with absolutely no rust

[@swatscorner]

Oh, it’s not perfect. A few spots on the floor pan and some in the seam above the passenger side gutter. But for a 330k+ mile Jeep, it’s doing great!!

That is a $9 air chisel. Use a $50-100 next time and you'll see the difference.

I’ll be sure to let my friends who own that shop know! I am grateful that they let me use their facilities and someone’s tools.

im on week 2 trying to smack the bolts out ... worst design ever

[@swatscorner]

Eventually you’ll have to cut them. Agreed. I cut my finger pretty bad on one last month.
