How to Service and Repair a Front Cross-Member on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Before fixing or servicing the front cross-member, hold the engine with the support fixture #8534 or similar, take out the skid plates and rotors, but do not twist the boot. Remove the nut on the outer tie rod end from the ball stud, take apart the outer tie rod end from the knuckle using puller tool #8677 and then come apart the upper ball joint from the knuckle by removing its nut and using the same puller. After that, take the axle nuts off and put them back on just a little, unplug the speed sensors and cut the harness from the hooks, next take out the lower ball joint nut and knock out the lower ball joint from the knuckle with puller tool #C-4150A. After you've eliminated the axle nuts, take out the knuckles and lower clevis bolts from the vehicle. As with 4WD models, separate the electrical connector and vent hose, remove the right half shaft, either adjust or remove sections of the propeller shaft, open and drain the differential, support it using a good lifting tool, then undo the front differential front bolts, right bolt and rear bolt and take out the differential while still attached to the left half shaft. Relax the engine mount bolts, raise the engine so the mount bolts are not overloaded, put the steering wheel in its straight ahead position and remove the steering gear as is advised. Use a suitable machine to support the cradle, make marks where the engine support cradle will be welded to the underbody, remove the four bolts on each corner and gently lower the cradle prior to removing the control arms and sway bar. First, attach the sway bar and lower control arms to the engine cradle, then raise the cradle and line up its engine mount bolts and finally install all four cradle bolts. Line up the engine cradle with the marks left behind during removal and then tighten the front bolts to 203 N.m and the rear bolts to 122 N.m. Connect the steering gear, place the engine down on its supports and tighten the engine mount bolts to 111 N.m (82 ft.lbs.). For a 4WD, mount the front differential inside the car and tighten the bolts, holding the threads of the rear bolt to 102 N.m (75 ft.lbs.), the right one to 102 N.m (75 ft.lbs.) and of the front to 54 N.m (40 ft.lbs.). All the right half shaft goes into the differential, fix the propeller shaft, link the electrical cable and insert the vent hose. After all the steps, fit the lower clevis bolts and fasten them with 169 N.m (125 ft.lbs.) force, wedge the knuckle onto the halfshaft and twist the halfshaft nut until it shows 251 N.m (185 ft.lbs.), secure the ball joint to the hub using 81 N.m (60 ft.lbs.) torque, repeat the same process on the upper ball joint, slide the tie rod end into the knuckle, tighten the ball stud nut to 75 N.m (55 ft.lbs.), connect the speed sensor electrical connectors and fasten the harness support clips, install the rotors, check and fill the front differential as necessary, install the front skid plates, and check and adjust front wheel alignment as necessary.
