 GRAND CHEROKEE WJ ONLY - Insert one
(1) flat washer to fill the void between the
chassis bracket and Control Arm bushing.

proper bushing performance and reliability.
 Install the original mounting bolt and finger tighten
the nut. Remember to realign cam adjuster on

ing bracket, either (1) adjust height of axle hous-
ing with hydraulic jack, (2) move axle housing into
position with a heavy-duty ratchet strap, or (3)
temporarily disconnect track bar until mounting
holes align.

‰ 5. POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 Adjustable Control Arms are supplied pre-lubri-
cated, although it will be necessary to add more
grease after they have been adjusted and installed
on the vehicle. Refer to Maintenance section for
specific lubrication instructions.
 Have vehicle professionally aligned before driving
on highway.
Maintenance
Control Arms should be greased regularly as part of
vehicle maintenance schedule. Lubricate using mois-
ture resistant marine style grease and a hand-pump
grease gun. DO NOT use a pneumatic grease gun.
Add grease slowly until resistance is felt. The internal
spring-loaded seal can be damaged by forcing too
much grease into Control Arms.
