You may want to check you're upper and lower control arm bushings as well as you're rear shocks. Post this question in the Grand Cherokee part of the forum for more answers.

As for what I did...Tore apart the 99 to get the headlight swtich out then went to autozone to find that they didnt keep my lifetime warranty on record and my receipt has disappeared. Oh well, just one more thing to the long list of items I'll have to pick up at the junkyard.

Well, found out that the mc was hooked up in reverse to the proportioning valve. So I fixed it. Thats pretty much all that was wrong. Except for the fact that one of the wheel cylinders may be bad, but oh well, brakes are working good for now until we cam buy a new one.

Confirmed that my blower motor is shot.

Did not fix passenger window. No power at switch in passenger door. Afraid of the clusterfuct harness in the driver door.

Keeping with the thread title...

I chopped up my receiver hitch so that it fit with the new shackles. Mounted my factory tow hooks I got from the u-pull it.

AND, I setup my new Craftsman 255pc tool kit that I got for the jeep.
