Reviews for Teraflex 1204800 Rear Upper Bar Pin Eliminator Kit for 84-06 Jeep Cherokee XJ, Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
Very important to have these before you try to replace the rear shocks on a Cherokee! The stock bar pin bolts are very weak and snap off easily when you try to remove them. I chose to weld these eliminators in place instead of drilling off the snapped bolts.
worked great makes it much easier to get to the shock bolts now
but it does change the shock's full extension be mindful of that
Great quality highly recommended!
Good luck getting the factory bolts out! These will solve your problem if you want to avoid dealing with the bar pins in the future, but they do reduce the shock travel and it does turn the eye of the shock 90 degrees, both of these issues combined may change the shock angle a tad. I am curious to see how long the upper bushings last. I don't think it's a big deal and it will be so much easier to replace the shocks in the future.
Easy install and works as designed (once you get the OEM bolts out)....mine were rusted and broke off; once you get them out I recommend replacing with grade 8 hardware. This shock mount turns the shock mounting eye 90 degrees from OEM and extends/reduces shock travel about 1/2" or so since they are now mounted below chassis instead of inside. I would probably go with a shock mount that does not rotate the shock mount orientation next time.
Does the job but shortens shock travel. something to be aware of when installing
Couldn't use these shortened my shock travel too much. Should have spent the extra money for the JKS I know their stuff works
