calipers, breather tube

evilxj85

88 Cherokee yea also don't forget upper control arms too and no it's simple but once you undo your control arms and shocks lower the jack down until coils are all the way decompressed and take them out then undo all linkage and drop the axel. I'm sure there's tons o different ways to do it but that how I see it the easiest

Oh and if shock bolts break don't worry just find a similar size and put them in

Good luck to ya

Also if you have any rust you should know that your two best friends are a torch and a breaker bar...Thats what I used the most when I had to swap my front axle out a week or so ago. Also impacts and a friend to help is really reccomended.

Rinojeep93

Yea no problem easy swap just takes a little time haha good luck post some Picts when all done someday
