• Features 65 technical diagrams alongside 12 dedicated torque specification tables for axle, suspension, and driveline components
• Serves as an authoritative OEM reference documenting comprehensive chassis and drivetrain maintenance for the 2002 production year

Drivetrain and Suspension Coverage

This factory service publication provides an extensive breakdown of the mechanical systems essential for maintaining vehicle roadworthiness. It outlines routine lubrication and maintenance intervals for major assemblies. You will also find standardized procedures for hoisting and jacking the WJ chassis. Proper lifting techniques are critical. Always verify equipment load ratings and observe standard workshop safety protocols before positioning any under-vehicle support. The text details the operation and structural layout of the front link/coil suspension and the solid rear axle system. It maps out the necessary component overviews for axle shaft removal, hub bearing replacement, and stabilizer bar maintenance without serving as a step-by-step repair manual.

Technical Specifications and Alignment Data

Precision assembly requires exact reference values. The documentation delivers specific torque sequences for pinion gear installation and differential bearing adjustments. Front wheel alignment geometry is fully documented. This covers both standard and Up-Country suspension variants, listing exact caster, camber, and total toe-in requirements. For instance, the front axle pinion nut torque specifies a minimum of 298 N·m (220 ft. lbs.). The guide also highlights critical stages for collapsible spacer crushing to ensure correct bearing preload.
