Strut mount, need foam piece?

I’m helping my buddy replace his struts and strut mount tops for his front suspension. We switched to Bilstein struts with KYB strut mounts. Does this foam piece need to transfer to the strut mount, or can we just mount it on top of the spring without the foam?

2014 jeep cherokee seat stuck

So I acquired a cherokee from my dad and before I got it he cleaned it out and slid the rear seats forward. Well now the driver side rear seat is stuck all the way forward and won't unlock. It seems like the inside mechanism might be releasing but not the outside or door side mechanism. Anyone ever have this issue or have a fix for it?

2020 Trailhawk suspension

We bought a 2020 trailhawk that had large tires on (not sure what size exactly) and had been lifted 2 inches. Dealer did change to stock size tires when we bought it as the other ones were rubbing (even with fender modifications the prior owner did). Well fast-forward to a couple months ago and about 50k miles on the Jeep we started hearing a creaking sound from the front suspension. Took it in and lower control arms and ball joints were shot, we had the extended Mopar warranty which covered it. However, they didn't realize the aftermarket lift on it so it shouldn't have been covered, looks like it is a MFC puck style lift. They had to modify the control arms to fit and then refused to change the ball joint due to the aftermarket suspension.

My question is really what type of suspension would you all recommend? Dobinsons is who the dealer told us to use. We want to get all new shocks and everything so we don't have this problem again and wear out everything too quickly? Bilstein was also on my list but they are backordered.

I wanted to remove the MFC lift but since the modified the control arms we can't now.

2016 north/latitude

Has anyone lifted one of these? Is it possible to do, and is there any good aftermarket support for the lower end models, I’ve tried todo some research but mostly everything I’m finding is for trailhawks with not much info in regards to the lower end models and fitment (lift kit, wheels, etc.)

2019 Sport Differences

I just purchased a 2019 Cherokee Sport (loving it thus far); when looking at aftermarket accessories, I'm getting a bit confused - a lot of sites (Including the Mopar online store) don't show the Sport as a trim level at all? As far as I can tell it's a Canadian trim only, but is it effectively the Latitude? If not what are the differences?

2019 FWD Latitude Struts

I ordered TRQ struts for my wife’s Latitude and they were over an inch too long and impossible to install. The parts company sent me a full refund, but I wanted to see who you recommend to get struts from. I am trying to avoid Mopar if possible because it’s going to be close to $800 according to the local dealership’s parts dept.

Should I be looking for struts that fit a ‘19+?

2019 limited hood

So I have a 2019 Cherokee limited, and I want to do upgrades but performance upgrades are kind of unrealistic on this car so I want to do some body mods. I’m trying to find a carbon fiber hood for the car but I’ve looked for a while and haven’t seen anything. Any recommendations help

Disable remote start

Is there anyway that I can easily disable the remote start function that operates from the key. Occasionally if I’m parked at the shops and come back to the car it’s remote started when I’ve locked the car. So I figure the key is playing up to an extent.. Fortunately the few times it’s happened it’s only been left running a few minutes. But I’m dreading it happening and not noticing overnight for example.

What are my options to remove this feature?

2019 cherokee mpg and transmission problems

hi guys, I bought my jeep new. I originally got somethings like 22 to about 25 mpg l now am getting 17 to 18 mpg. Same routes and everything. That being said the transmission got replaced at 28k now 32k (clutch decided to turn its self into glitter). Is anyone else having this problem. I've done premium gas for it's entire life kept up on oil changes and done ejector cleaning kits once every 6months air filter about once every year. The thing shifts hard and clutch acts like it's getting dumped from an higher rev almost like it's not rev matching. It's also using 5th gear going 30 mph, I understand the transmission has a break in period but 4k+ seems ridiculous. This thing left me stranded for a month without a car because chrysler took their sweet time finding a transmission. Any body know the cause of this?

How are you clearing codes

How are you all checking / clearing your codes? I saw JScan, but it doesn't seem to support the KL...

Do I have to bring this to Jeep to clear? My local mechanic didn't have the new Jeep License on their snap-on reader.

What I should look out for with a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 2.0L?

Hello everyone, I'm interested in the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 2.0L - i4 and I really like it after my test drive. It is at 86000 km with no accident. Is there anything I need to know about this model as well as how to take care of it as it is my first car if I decide to buy it? Thank you a lot.

Opinions on My Wife’s 2016 Trailhawk

Hey guys. My wife has a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk. We bought it about 5 years ago with 25k miles and it now has 108k on it.

Within the past couple months it has had the symptoms of a failing PTU happen here and there. Brought it to the dealer last month and they heard the grinding noise we had been hearing at about 35 mph in auto mode. They did the software update and the grinding seemed to go away but I still knew it wouldn’t last long.

The last couple days the grinding came back and my wife also said it was making a pop/thud in the rear end while turning corners. Which threw me off a little bit because that sounds like something in the rear diff.

Brought it to the dealership and they told me the PTU is bad and that they will replace under warranty. Unfortunately they said the rear drive module is also bad along with the drivers side rear cv axle, and there’s some noise coming from the driveshaft as well. To replace the rear drive module and cv axle it would be about $4600.

Having a hard time deciding what we should do. Luckily it is completely paid off but it Worries me that the entire drivetrain on this thing is shot at the same time. Do we fix everything and hope it doesn’t keep nickle and diming us? Just do the PTU and hope it’s enough of a fix to sell or trade in? I’m hoping the dealership is wrong and it’s just the PTU causing our issues.

Shitty part is I drove an 06 ram for way longer than I wanted to and I was repairing it all the time. Literally just bought a new truck last week so we really don’t want to purchase anything that would cost us more than what we could get for the jeep. I thought finally we would both have reliable cars. Nope!

Any insight is appreciated! And if anyone has replaced both their PTU and RDM how did it go afterwards? Did you continue having issues?

Full synthetic oil for 20 Cherokee KL?

Got the Trailhawk new in 2020. Was getting free oil change from the dealer until earlier this year. From what I read on the receipts it looks like they were using semi-synthetic. I plan on doing my own changes from now on and switching to full synthetic. The engine is a 6 cylinder with 68K miles on it. Can I simply switch over to synthetic or will I have to do any other procedures? How much oil will she need? Thanks!
