Hello,
I am new to ::.
1. Year of your XJ/MJ = 2000
2. Engine = 4.0
3. Transmission = Auto
4. Differential/transfer case = 8-1/4 / NP242 Selec-Trac
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) Limited. I was trying to remove the rear swaybar and replace it with a Helwig swaybar that I just purchased. While loosening the swaybar mount bolts that attach to the chassis (above the rear axle), whatever the bolt screws into on the other side (inside the "frame rail") became detached and now the bolt spins freely. However, whatever was attached to the bolt on the other side is still attached to the bolt. So I can't take the bolt out in order to remove the swaybar mount.
Is there a way to access the other side of the swaybar mounting bolt? I would think the trunk area or rear seat area might afford access; but haven't seen anything like that yet. If what I am explaining is not clear, please let me know and I will try to explain the scenario better.
Thank you in advance ::!
