Hello, I just bought my first jeep and have to save it is the best so far. I do have a couple little problems to figure out but hay its not brand-new. I do have a question about the suspension though.

I have a bar in the front of the Cherokee, it looks to be a suspension bar as there is two of them going from side to side. Both bars seem to have some sort of a tie rod on both ends. I hope this is clear to understand. Now on those bars the bottom one is very firm will not wiggle, but the top one has play and wiggled some. I do notice when I drive I have a little extra play in the steering. Especially on the higher mph range. I notice when driving on hwy an turning you have to compensate a little to stay in your lane.

A for the jeep it is a 2003 Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with straight six and auto trans. The jeep is very clean as I am second owner and the couple before me were a older couple. I know they took care of it because it drives like it is brand-new even with the suspension problems.

Any onsite on the bar would be helpful, I just want to make sure it is safe for my kid an me. Anyway thanks in advance, I do have pictures just not sure on how to load them.

 

Your description is super vague...upload some pictures and someone should be able to guide you in the right direction... Also, welcome to the forum!

 

I think he's talking about the tie rod and drag links.

Hope this helps.

 

Great pic but mine is different. I cant find away to load a picture or I would show you. Maybe it can't be done from a phone. Thanks for the help though.

 

Cant really be that much diffrent, that picture pretty much covers all jeeps that have a solid axle on the front.
