I have a 99 Cherokee sport and wanted to know if there is a certain o2 sensor that I should buy when I replace them or if it doesn't matter what kind they are. Also there are two that need to be replaced, correct? Thanks for any help!

I was thinking about either Denso or bosh... But now I'm leaning more towards Denso

Oem from the stealer is the only one iwould put in it. My 99 went through 2 of them both bosch. Then I went to the dealer and got one and compared the 2. The aftermarkes' sensor bulb is to long and burns the heating element out. Search and u will find mine and other writeups. Save ur self the hassle.I wouldn't even use the denso unless u could compare it with the oem.

I always look for NTK as they are the OEM supplier to Jeep (except for 87-90 where it was Bosch and they will work fine for those applications).
