Hi Connie, I'm glad to help. The front Shocks on your Grand Cherokee are: 26 Foot Pounds on the upper. 250 inch pounds on the lower. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Connie.

adjust the nuts until there is tension placed on the rubbers. You will see the rubber start to slightly bulge out under the washers and that will be the correct tension

50 foot pounds

Hello acadiamaine,

If the shock absorber bolt to the axle is a 14mmX1.5 it should be torqued to 110 Nm if it is a 12mmX1.5 bolt torque it to 70 Nm.

The bolt to the frame side should be torqued to 140 Nm if the axle bolt is 14mmX1.5 and 80 Nm if the axle bolt is 12mmX1.5.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Jerry
