How to Effectively Service and Repair Shock Absorbers on 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Question

Accepted Answer

Before you service the shock absorbers, take care of the right front shock by removing the air box cover and air intake hose, disconnecting the cruise control servo electric connection and moving the coolant reservoir aside after loosening its mounting bolt. After that, unscrew the four shock mounting nuts, raise the vehicle and remove the tire. Untighten the brake caliper adapter bolts, so that the brake caliper and caliper adapter do not hang from the brake hose and then take out the disc brake rotor. Get rid of the upper ball joint nut and use special tool 8677 to separate it from the knuckle. Go ahead and remove the lower clevis bolt together with the lower stabilizer bolt at the lower control arm and remove the shock and spring if that's what's needed. Install the clevis bracket on the shock, fasten it with 122 Nm and install the shock assembly, securing the four upper shock nuts with 95 Nm. Add the coolant reservoir bolt back, rejoin the cruise control servo wiring and place the airbox cover and the air intake hose back into place. Lift the vehicle again, fit the lower stabilizer bolt and next the lower clevis bolt, tightening all to 169 Nm. Get the upper ball joint onto the knuckle, put in the new nut and tighten it to 75 Nm. Once that is done, bolt the rotor and caliper adapter to the knuckle until the torque is at 176 Nm. Then, set the tire and wheel in place before bringing down the vehicle. To do the left front, open the small lid that covers the air filter and unplug the hose, followed by removing the three nuts on the bracket to reach the nuts on the shock mount. Remove the tire, lower bolts, upper ball joint, brake caliper and rotors from the vehicle just as you did with the other side. Attach the clevis bracket to one end of the shock, secure with 122 Nm of force, then fit the complete shock assembly and tighten the upper nuts to 95 Nm. Fit the PDC bracket nuts, raise the vehicle and tighten the lower stabilizer bolt to 115 Nm, then the lower clevis bolt to 169 Nm. After that, connect the upper ball joint, return the disc brake components to their proper place and fit the wheel and tire before bringing the vehicle down.
