Common Replacement Reasons

• Noisy or loose-feeling front suspension behavior
• Need for a direct-fit replacement shock for listed Jeep applications

Installation Notes

Verify the upper stem mount and lower cross pin mount before installation, and confirm the compressed and extended lengths match the vehicle application. Check the front suspension configuration carefully, since Cherokee fitment excludes Police Package models and Grand Cherokee fitment excludes Up Country Suspension models. Monroe 32252 is a front shock absorber, so it should be installed in the correct position on the vehicle.
