Wk2 Jeep Grand Cherokee Air Strut and Upper Control Arm Replacement 

Yeah, it had me stumped too. Glad it helped.

@@polkypolky8879 No mate. I live in the US.

Yep. Air shocks and regular shocks are both fully extended when the vehicle is in the air. The reason to tighten them on the ground is because the rubber bushing can rip if you dont.

Well air tools in reality, I was just happy it came apart so quickly.

It really depends on thr air ride settings. I just calibrated according to the factory manual and called it good. All the ride height settings work now.

You working on a wk or wk2?

If it's a wk2 and the left wheel well (drivers side) it's really tight but you can get an 18mm (I think) ratcheting wrench on it by reaching around behind the power steering reservoir, you can feel for it, you won't be able to see it. If it's the right (passenger side) then you can use an extension and a socket to lock onto the nut, again you can't see it but it's there under the fuses boxes, there is no need to remove the fuse boxes.

@@diydan30 yeah but on the other side, like it appears it would be in the glove compartment box but I can’t seem to find it?

@@michaelmccauley3958 Weird, that was probably the easiest one on the wk2 I did. I think depending on the year there may be fuse boxes over it. In the 2014 I did, that bolt was easily accessible and visible.

@@michaelmccauley3958 definitely in the engine bay, not the glove box.
