ENGINE SUPPORTS
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The general condition of the engine supports
should be inspected at the same time as the engine
oil is changed and the oil filter is replaced.
INSPECTION
(1) Test the hardware that attaches the engine cyl-
inder block to the engine support brackets (Figs. 17
and 18) for the specified tightening torque.
(2) Inspect the rubber in the engine support cush-
ions for softening and swelling. Slight surface deteri-
oration and wear at the ends will not affect the
functioning of an engine support.
ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The accessory drive belt should be inspected for
cracks, fraying, and excessive wear. If necessary, re-
fer to Group 7ÐCooling Systems for replacement pro-
cedures and adjustment specifications.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
The drive belt must be adjusted after each 48
000-km (30,000-miles) interval of vehicle operation
has elapsed. The accessory drive belt must be re-
placed after each 96 000-km (60,000-miles). If neces-
sary, refer to Group 7ÐCooling Systems.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
The general condition of the exhaust system must
be inspected after each 12 000-km (7,500-miles).
An exhaust system must be properly aligned to
prevent stress, leakage, and vehicle body contact.

Page 24 of 1784
Under normal driving conditions, manual trans-
mission lube oil should be changed after each 60
000-km (37,500 miles). With severe driving condi-
tions, after each 29 000-km (18,000 miles).
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION
When it becomes necessary to add to or change the
lube oil in a Jeeptmanual transmission, use SAE
75W-90, API Quality Grade GL-5 gear lubricant.
LUBRICANT LEVEL
The fill-hole plug for all manual transmissions is
located on the right side of the case (Fig. 4). Deter-
mine the lubricant level according to the following
procedure.
(1) Remove the fill-hole plug (Fig. 4) from the
transmission. The lube oil should be level with the
bottom edge of the fill hole. The level can be slightly
below the bottom edge of the fill hole if the lube oil
is cold.
If the transmission is warm, lube oil could drip
out of the fill hole. This is acceptable but the
lube oil should not gush out of the fill hole.
(2) If not acceptable, raise the lube oil level to the
bottom edge of the transmission fill hole. Use SAE
75W-90, API Quality Grade GL-5 gear lubricant.
Add lube oil in small amounts to raise the
level.
(3) Install the fill-hole plug in the transmission.
Tighten the plug with 37 NIm (27 ft. lbs.) torque.
LUBE OIL CHANGE
When it becomes necessary to change manual
transmission lube oil, use the following procedure.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove the fill-hole plug from the transmis-
sion.
(3) Place a container to collect the lube oil under
the transmission drain-hole plug.(4) Remove the drain-hole plug and drain the lube
oil from the transmission into the container.
Care should be exercised when disposing used
lube oil after it has been drained from a trans-
mission.
(5) Install the drain-hole plug in the transmission.
Tighten the plug with 37 NIm (27 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Fill the transmission until the lube oil begins
to drip out of the fill hole with SAE 75W-90, API
Quality Grade GL-5 gear lubricant.
(7) Install the fill-hole plug in the transmission.
Tighten the plug with 37 NIm (27 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Check fluid level in automatic transmissions (Fig.
5) the same time the engine oil is changed and the
oil filter is replaced. Add ATF as necessary.
Under normal driving conditions, the ATF should
be changed and the filter replaced after each 48
000-km (30,000-miles). With severe driving condi-
tions, after each 29 000-km (12,000-miles).
ATF SPECIFICATIONS
When it becomes necessary to add fluid (ATF) to a
Jeeptautomatic transmission (or when the ATF is
replaced), use:
²MerconŸ ATFonlyfor AW-4 automatic transmis-
sions (XJ vehicles), and
²MOPAR ATF PLUS type 7176 (or an equivalent
MerconŸ/Dexron IIŸ ATF) for 998 automatic trans-
missions (YJ vehicles).
SPECIAL ADDITIVES
The addition of any special-type fluid to a Jeept
automatic transmission is not recommended. The
only exception is the addition of black-light detection

DRAINING ATF/FILTER REMOVAL
Drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) im-
mediately after stopping the engine (before the ATF
cools).
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Loosen the transmission pan bolts and drain
the original ATF into an appropriate container. Re-
move the pan bolts, the pan and the gasket.
Care should be exercised when disposing used
ATF after it has been drained from a vehicle
transmission.
(3) Remove the screws and the ATF filter (Fig. 8).
Discard the filter.
FILTER INSTALLATION/ATF RE-FILL
(1) Install a replacement ATF filter. Tighten the
screws with 4 NIm (35 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Clean the pan thoroughly. Install a replace-
ment gasket on the pan. Install the pan with the at-
taching bolts:
²model AW-4 transmission Ð tighten the pan bolts
with 7 NIm (60 in. lbs.) torque; and
²model 998 transmission Ð tighten the pan bolts
with 17 NIm (150 in. lbs.) torque.
(3) Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
(4) Pour approximately 4.7 liters (5 quarts) of ATF
into the filler tube. Use MerconŸ ATF for AW-4 au-
tomatic transmissions. Use MOPAR ATF PLUS type
7176 or equivalent, for 998 automatic transmissions.
(5) Place a block in front of and at the rear of one
wheel/tire to prevent vehicle movement.
(6) Start the engine and allow it to idle a few min-
utes.
(7) Apply the brake pedal and engage the parking
brake. Move the transmission selector lever through
all positions, then place the selector lever in NEU-
TRAL position.(8) With the transmission at normal operating
temperature, observe the ATF level on the dipstick.
Add ATF (if necessary) to raise the level to the
FULL mark on the dipstick.Only 0.5 liter (1.0 pint)
will raise the level from the ADD mark to the
FULL mark when the ATF is at normal operat-
ing temperature.
(9) Inspect for fluid leaks and correct as necessary.
(10) Remove the wheel/tire blocks.
TRANSFER CASE
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The fluid (ATF) level in transfer cases should be
determined at the same time as the engine oil is
changed and the oil filter is replaced. Add ATF as
necessary.
In addition, transfer case ATF should be changed
after each 48 000-km (30,000-miles) interval of vehi-
cle operation has elapsed.
FLUID SPECIFICATIONS
If it is necessary to add fluid to a transfer case (or
when the fluid is changed), use MOPAR ATF PLUS
type 7176 or an equivalent MerconŸ/Dexron IIŸ
ATF.
FLUID LEVEL
The transfer case fill-hole plug is located at the
rear of the housing (Fig. 9).
Determine the transfer case fluid (ATF) level ac-
cording to the following procedure.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove the fill-hole plug from the transfer
case. The ATF level should be at the bottom edge of
the fill hole. The level can be slightly below the bot-
tom edge of the fill hole if the fluid is cold.

Page 27 of 1784
If the transfer case ATF is warm, it is accept-
able for the fluid to drip out of the fill hole. If
the fluid gushes out of the fill hole, the level is
too high.
(3) If the level is low, raise it to the bottom edge of
the fill hole with MOPAR ATF PLUS type 7176 or
an equivalent MerconŸ/Dexron IIŸ ATF.
(4) Install the fill-hole plug. Tighten the plug with
47 NIm (35 ft. lbs.) torque.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
Only 2WD XJ vehicles are equipped with front
wheel bearings. XJ vehicles have semi-floating axle
shafts and axle shaft bearings that are lubricated via
differential lube oil.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCEÐ2WD XJ
VEHICLES
The front wheel bearings should be lubricated (re-
packed) at the same time as front brake pad/caliper
service is conducted.
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION

GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT SUSPENSION
XJ VEHICLES
The Cherokee front suspension is a link/coil design
comprised of (Fig. 1);
²Drive axle (4WD), tube axle (2WD)
²Track bar
²Stabilizer bar
²Upper and lower suspension arms
²Coil springs
²Dual-action shock absorbers²Jounce bumpers (used to limit the travel of the
suspension)
The link/coil suspension allows each wheel to adapt
to different road surfaces without greatly affecting
the opposite wheel. Wheels are attached to a hub/
bearings which bolts to the knuckles. The hub/bear-
ing is not serviceable and is replaced as a unit.
Steering knuckles pivot on replaceable ball studs at-
tached to the axle tube yokes.
The upper and lower suspension arms are different
lengths, with bushings at both ends. They bolt the
Fig. 1 XJ Front Suspension
JFRONT SUSPENSION AND AXLE 2 - 1
Page 40 of 1784
The shocks absorbers dampen jounce and rebound
of the vehicle over various road conditions. The top of
the shock absorbers are bolted to the frame. The bot-
tom of the shocks are bolted to the axle bracket.
The stabilizer bar is used to minimize vehicle front
sway during turns. The spring steel bar helps to con-
trol the vehicle body in relationship to the suspen-
sion. The bar extends across the front underside of
the chassis and connects to the frame rails. Links are
connected from the bar to the axle brackets. Stabi-
lizer bar mounts are isolated by rubber bushings.
The track bar is used to minimize front axle side-
to-side movement. The track bar is attached to a
frame rail bracket and the axle bracket.
The bar uses bushings at both ends.
FRONT DRIVE AXLE
It is not necessary to remove the complete axle
from the vehicle for routine differential service. If
the differential housing or axle shaft tubes are dam-
aged, the complete axle assembly can be removed
and serviced.
For complete drive axle assembly removal and in-
stallation refer to Drive Axle Assembly Replacement
in this Group.
The removable cover provides for servicing without
removing axle from vehicle.
The integral type housing, hypoid gear design has
the centerline of the pinion set above the centerline
of the ring gear.
The Model 30 axle has the assembly part number
and gear ratio listed on a tag. The tag is attached to
the housing cover (Fig. 4). Build date identification
codes are stamped on the axle shaft tube cover side.XJ and YJ axles are equipped with an optional
A.B.S. brake system. The A.B.S. tone rings are
pressed onto the axle shaft near the hub and
knuckle. For additional information on the A.B.S.
system refer to Group 5, Brakes.
²XJ vehicles use a non-disconnect axle.
²YJ vehicles use a vacuum disconnect axle (Fig. 5).
STANDARD DIFFERENTIAL OPERATION
The differential gear system divides the torque be-
tween the axle shafts. It allows the axle shafts to ro-
tate at different speeds when turning corners.
Each differential side gear is splined to an axle
shaft. The pinion gears are mounted on a pinion
mate shaft and are free to rotate on the shaft. The
pinion gear is fitted in a bore in the differential case
and is positioned at a right angle to the axle shafts.
In operation, power flow occurs as follows:
²Pinion gear rotates the ring gear
²Ring gear (bolted to the differential case) rotates
the case
²Differential pinion gears (mounted on the pinion
mate shaft in the case) rotate the side gears
²Side gears (splined to the axle shafts) rotate the
shafts
During straight-ahead driving, the differential pin-
ion gears do not rotate on the pinion mate shaft. This
occurs because input torque applied to gears is di-
vided and distributed equally between the two side
gears. As a result, the pinion gears revolve with the
pinion mate shaft but do not rotate around it (Fig. 6).
When turning corners, the outside wheel must travel
a greater distance than the inside wheel. This difference
must be compensated for in order to prevent the wheels
from scuffing and skidding through the turn. To accom-
plish this, the differential allows the axle shafts to turn
at unequal speeds (Fig. 7). In this instance, the input
torque applied to the pinion gears is not divided
equally. The pinion gears now rotate around the pinion
mate shaft in opposite directions. This allows the side
gear and axle shaft attached to the outside wheel to ro-
tate at a faster speed.

not change except when a spindle or ball stud is
damaged or bent. The angle is not adjustable and the
damaged component(s) must be replaced to correct
mis-alignment.
CAUTION:Do not attempt to modify any suspension
or steering component by heating and bending.
PRE-ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before starting a front wheel alignment, the follow-
ing inspection and necessary corrections must be
completed.
(1) Tires with the same recommended air pressure,
size, and thread wear. Refer to Group 22, Tires And
Wheels for diagnosis information.
(2) Front wheel bearings for wear.
(3) Ball studs, steering linkage pivot points and
steering gear for looseness, roughness, binding or
wear. Refer to Group 19, Steering for additional in-
formation.
(4) Front wheels for excessive radial or lateral
runout and unbalance. Refer to Group 22, Tires And
Wheels for diagnosis information.
(5) Suspension components for wear and noise.
Check components for correct torque. Refer to Groups
2 and 3, Suspension and Axle for additional informa-
tion.
ALIGNMENT MEASUREMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Before each alignment reading, the vehicle should
be jounced (rear first, then front). Grasp each bumper
at the center and jounce the vehicle up and down
several times. Always release the bumper in the
down position.Set the front end alignment to
specifications with the vehicle at its NOR-
MALLY RIDE HEIGHT.
CAMBER
The wheel camber angle (Fig. 1) is preset at ZERO
DEGREES (0É). The angle is not adjustable and can-
not be altered.
CASTER
The caster angle (Fig. 1) is set at:
²XJ manual transmission, POSITIVE 6.5 DE-
GREES (+6.5É).
²XJ automatic transmission, POSITIVE 8.0 DE-
GREES (+8.0É).
²YJ all transmissions, POSITIVE 6.0 DEGREES
(+6.0É).
Before checking the caster of the front axle for cor-
rect angle. Be sure the axle is not bent or twisted.
Road test the vehicle, and make left and right
turns. If the steering wheel returns to the center po-
sition unassisted, the caster angle is correct. How-ever, if steering wheel does not return toward the
center position unassisted, an incorrect caster angle
is probable.
Caster can be adjusted by installing the appropri-
ate size shims (Fig. 2, 3).Changing caster angle
will also change the front propeller shaft angle.
The propeller shaft angle has priority over
caster. Refer to Group 16, Propeller Shafts for
additional information.
