"I don't have a torque wrench that goes that high. So I am going slap it in, give it a few ugga dugga's and call it good." I am totally using this now anytime I need to tighten something.
I've got a 2000 Jeep cherokee that I need to replace the front u joints in. Found a 250 ft lbs torque wrench on Harbor Freight. Now just need for it not to be so hot to replace it.
Wheel bearings are one of the spots where you pay attention to what the book says. Because too tight can be as bad as too loose. If you *have* to do without the proper tools, the old-fashioned way is to tighten it until it just starts to drag, and then loosen it until it just spins freely. But with modern bearings the amount of leeway is pretty unforgiving.
Very informative video! I wasn't sure what the job would entail for sure but just found out during my last alignment that my driver's side u joint is very close to breaking and needs replaced. Thank you for your time sir!
When replacing the hub assembly always clean the knuckle really good and liberally use antiseize, I've had my current zj for 270k miles and plan have a long time yet, so whenever working underneath it use antiseize a lot, and even for living in the rust belt after the 1st time whenever have done anything things remain easy to disassemble for repairs
You should also note that Jeeps WITH ABS fitted are 30mm caps by 83mm in length. WITHOUT ABS fitted UJs are 27mm caps by 83mm length. So make sure you buy the correct size new UJs, as not one size fits all Jeep models.
U-joints are in the driveshafts, proper nomenclature for the axle shaft ones is wheel joint,, the cherokee and grand cherokee took the same u-joint in all 7 positions until the model year when the manufacturer switched to cv type shaft in the front axle

Great video thanks! Watching in Belfast, NI, UK and this was an easy way to understand the process!

I’ll have to look, how much was it?

Grab front drive shaft and turn it back and forth and if your joints moving around it’s bad.
It is so easy when you do those repairs :D
The noise, was it a grinding type noise? Mine is making that noise on left turns and bumps recently…
@@Idontreadreplies23 I’ve had grinding noises, faint squeaks, and binding all caused by a u-joint. I don’t remember which one in this case
@@ProjectVenture Thank you! I’m on it!
nice video, did you drain the differential oil ?
I did not drain the differential oil when I did this.
@@ProjectVenture did you use the spicer 5-760x-6 u joint? , i have an 2000 xj with abs, limited 4 door version, or are they all the same?.
I’m not exactly sure.
@@ProjectVenture clear thanks
Can I check with you if the U-joint for the front axle and main shaft are the same?
In its stock form they are not the same.
Will this be the same for a 2001 xj?
It should be.
@@ProjectVenture damn, I appreciate the fast reply! 💪🏼
No problem. Good luck.

i was thinking they were all the same for the xj, i couldnt remember. thanks
