Detailed Description

Delphi TC3144 is engineered for the front upper suspension location and is a direct-fit replacement for 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2006-2007 Jeep Commander models with the non-adjustable type.

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Front Upper, Non-Adjustable Type. Fits 2006-2007 Jeep Commander, Front Upper, Non-Adjustable Type. Verify the vehicle uses the non-adjustable front upper application before installation.
