Models Covered & Key Technical Specifications
Jeep Cherokee XJ — 2000 Integrated Original Handbook | XJ Series Toolkit.
- Prescribed Coupling Torques: 115 N·m (85 ft. lbs.) is established at the lower suspension arm fastener attachment Bounds.
- Standard Twist Specifications: For optimal chassis performance, 156 N·m (115 ft. lbs.) dictates the leaf spring front pivot bolt torque Topology.
- Maximum Holding Capacity: 237 N·m (175 ft. lbs.) — corresponds to the hub bearing axle nut retention Matrix.
- System Load Capacity: The differential bearing cap requires 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.) to achieve correct preload installation Standards.
- Calibrated Cycle Rate: Ring gear backlash reaches 0.12–0.20 mm (0.005–0.008 in.) dimensional specification Margin.
- Nominal Torque Data: Drive belt inspection and adjustment is set to 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.) at the transfer case coupling Protocol.

Precise Topology
Assembly instructions are detailed for front suspension components including coil springs, shock absorbers, upper and lower control arms, and track bar mounting procedures. The document includes torque specifications for the suspension frame, with fastener tightening sequences documented to ensure proper clamp load consistency. Hydraulic schematics are included for power brake booster operation and the combination valve assembly.
Modular Interface
Steering component information is provided for the drag link and tie rod adjustment procedures, including wheel alignment measurements for caster, camber, and toe position. The manual documents procedures for adjusting front propeller shaft angles and rear pinion input angles using selective shims. Inspection guidelines are provided for suspension ball studs, bearing preload verification, and checking for excessive runout on differential components.
Strategic Methodology
Alignment specifications are included for all Cherokee XJ configurations, with detailed procedures for measuring driveline angles and establishing proper universal joint operating characteristics. The document covers both front and rear differential assembly procedures, including pinion gear depth measurement using specialized gauges and dial indicators. Ring gear backlash adjustment methodology is presented with contact pattern analysis procedures.
Core Topology
The manual provides extensive coverage of the brake system architecture, detailing master cylinder operation, power booster function, and the combination valve pressure differential mechanism. Drum brake adjustment procedures document the wear compensation sequence, while disc brake caliper servicing procedures outline proper seal replacement and slide pin lubrication. Specifications for brake fluid type, rotor thickness variation, and drum machine-ability limits are included.
Structured Benchmarks
The document includes comprehensive electrical system coverage with wiring diagram sections for instrument panel circuits, lighting systems, and starting/charging system operation. Battery specifications, alternator output requirements, and starter motor torque data are referenced throughout. The manual documents torque specifications for the suspension system to ensure proper bracket attachment and bearing preload consistency.
SPECIFICATIONS AND TECHNICAL DATA
The 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ Service Manual spans 2,141 pages and provides factory-grade documentation across multiple vehicle systems. Fluid capacities are specified for all powertrain components including engine oil (3.8L for 2.5L gasoline, 5.7L for 4.0L gasoline, 6.8L for 2.5L diesel), transmission configurations (3.5-7.8L depending on type), and axle lubricant requirements (1.18-2.08L). Tire inflation specifications, battery cold cranking amperage requirements, and spark plug gap settings are documented in dedicated specification tables. The manual documents torque specifications for all major fastener groups, with values provided in both metric Newton-meters and foot-pounds, supporting proper assembly of engine mounts, transmission mounting bolts, differential bearing caps, and brake system components.
