THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!!! I'm a big time diy and was about to pay $400 to have this repaired on my jeep. I saw this item before but didn't realize it was a bolt on and I don't own a welder. Thank you man. God bless.
Glad it was helpful!
You saved my Jeep!! Thank you so much for this!! A grateful UK Grand Cherokee WJ owner.
Glad to pay it forward on the Internet
Very clever, I had no idea. Thanks!
Glad to be of service.
Great video, thanks for posting. I was under the impression that this was supposed to be welded in, but i guess not. I think I would pay a little extra money to have someone weld in a new support rather than this fix, but I will keep both in mind
Yeah or even jb weld works too. Idea is the spring + vehicle weight holds it down in place.
Thank you! Had no idea these bolt ons existed…Unfortunately i we to u pull it and bought a replacement Dana 30 … hope I can return for credit
Happy to help!
I was doing ball joints on my 02 last year and noticed the sway bar mount was gone completely. Wifes car never run off road but to many years of Cape Cod winters. Luckily I have a welder torch and scape steel. Rebuilt for free she bought a 2018 and I am driving the 02 as a winter beater to save my truck from salt roads.
Rust can really eat these up
Do they make this for the rear end as well the bump stops in my rear coil springs rusted out want to know b4 I get to work on it with a welder and some 2 inch pipe I already orders these for my front end
Awesome video , I was doing my tie rods today and noticed I have the same problem . What type of rubber boot do you get for these?
I'm not following your comment, my apologies. I painted the sheet metal with black Rustoleum and put in these new perches. The rubber in the video are new Moog Spring isolators.
Man ur a life saver thank u a million I juss discovered mine doing the same thing and was thinking about getting rid of it but I’ve done so much to the Jeep but do u know if they have some for the back and if so could u put the link in the comments for me anyway thanks again
I'd check doman's website. Not sure they make tears, sorry.
Would applying seam sealer prevent any more rusting of the perch?
It might. My worry would be that you would trap in moisture. I just did a heavy coat of Rustoleum.
my wj is leaning, 10mm on rh side. if its not a broken spring, im going to look at these things
Did this fix it for you?
Do they make a set for the rears also?
I'm not sure, sorry. Don't see why not
Do I have to welded the part???
Nope. It's a bolt in affair
What insulators did you use
Moog
Its welded?
Just bolt in and go. Dorman's website has additional details.
Part link?
I picked them up off Amazon.
