Quick question. I just ordered a set of IRO LCA's. I want to replace the stock hardware since I figured might as well while its out. The question is does an 01 require the use of cam bolts, or can I just get away with bolts from lowes. Thanks

 

XJ's never used cam bolts. There is a shoe you shim for caster on the body side of the lower arm.

 

thanks. i didn't think that they used them, but i was reading conflicting info

 

Never say never. You are right if your Cherokee has the stock LCA axle brackets. I have replaced the weak stock axle LCA mounts with the Rusty's HD LCA mounts that use cam bolts for caster adjustment. If you are going to use your Cherokee for rock crawling it would be a good idea to replace the stock LCA mounts with a set of HD LCA mounts, some use cam bolts and some don't.

 

^X2^

 

Thanks! They are stock brackets. Eventually I'll upgrade them. I live on the jersey shore and the closest thing to a big rock by me is a tree stump. Mostly sand trails. Even our mountain is made of sand and gravel.

 

Cool. The stock brackets should be fine, they stand up well to trail riding. If you start bumping your axle into thing though, keep an eye on them. Have fun.
