I checked out this video to see how to remove the upper control arm nuts from the engine bay side. You completely omitted that part.

@GrandExploration Ай бұрын

@@soc5312 my apologies we lost some footage on this video unfortunately.but there was no easy way. The passenger side is easier to stick your hand back there but the driver side you literally have to squeeze your arm back there, feel for the nut. It’s not fun.

@soc5312 Ай бұрын

@@GrandExploration Thank you for the reply, I ended up cutting the lock flange off the bolt from the inside and with a wrench propped on the engine side nut, I loosed the bolt from the wheel well side, that was actually fairly easy. Putting it back on was much easier. Hope this helps with the missing footage. ;D

I have a Summit with Quadralift and AirLinks which allows me to set my normal ride height to OR1, and I'm wondering if the RRO upper control arms would benefit me at all? I have the suspension links dialed in pretty well at this point, but when I run over larger potholes or ruts, the suspension bottoms out. I think it's the shocks that take the brunt of it. Do you think these UCAs would provide any additional clearance for an air suspension equipped GC? Thanks!

@GrandExploration 20 күн бұрын

They don’t really add clearance. Aftermarket UCAs are stronger and can take more abuse and allows you to reach better alignment specs for a vehicle that is lifted above stock because stock UCAs are only meant for stock height. Your UCAs that you have should be able to handle any height your Quadra lift allows for but it could benefit you as far as being stronger for trail abuse

My apologies. I missed the part where I show you how to remove the UCA bolts out of the engine bay on both driver and passenger side. If anyone has any questions either leave a comment with your question or follow me on IG and leave me a DM and I will help you out.

@PreparedOverlander 8 ай бұрын

When you go to their site, go to the Grand Cherokee, then at the top is Suspension, the click on the WK2 picture. On the very bottom you will see an order part of the page with drop down menu's, you will see there are 2 different selections for Upper Control Arms 2011-2015 and 2016-2021. Both appear to be on sale at the moment.

@PreparedOverlander thank u. I did that option. In the drop-down option, it says 16-19. I will try again

@@chobbar.wk02 They probably forgot to update the text for the drop down. I have emailed them in the past, and they are quick to answer. I would call just to confirm, plus let them know of their oversight.

@GrandExploration 8 ай бұрын

Just make sure you choose the correct year in the drop down. I just checked and it says 2021. It’s the second package down in the list.
