In this video I install the $20 DIY a-arm spacer i made on the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. I also replace the ball joint in the a-arm (a.k.a. the rear upper control arm)
Here is the link for the "How To" to make your own a-arm spacer for $20

The bolts on both ends of the arm to frame are 74FT-LBS torque spec, Ball Joint nut to arm is 105FT-LBS & plate to differential bolts are 100FT-LBS, Torque specs are important to maintain proper wear life...

All I can say is good luck. This mightve been the hardest job I've ever worked on on any vehicle. Im sure im forgetting a few but this was no picnic.

Was a little difficult to find this part 2, you should link it on part 1 :) THANKS

Watched because have to rellace mkne. 2 years ago replaced the A and ball joint. Froze in so actually sawall the a frame off jjst to get the bolts out. Still, A off, could not pop the ball out with a sledge. Unbelievable. So worked well for a year. Heard a lot of clanking usually after going from 4 to 2 again. Constantly, turnkng bumls, reverse. Clunk. Got under it and found the ball nut loose. That sucker will not tighten noe loosen. Possibly threads shot from play. Have an idea about sawzall the ball bolt whick will free up the A to make easier, more room, to get the 3 bolts out. Now, the top nut was torqued properly but came loose. Wondering if this time I should add a lock nut or split washer. Maybe a better nut like a grade 8 M14 1/2" nut. Just looking for ideas because the last time was a bitch to replace. Mainly the aligning and those 3 bolts are tough. In or out very hard to turn, possibly replace the bolts as well?
