Replacing the Lift Pistons of the Rear Tailgate on a Jeep Cherokee XJ
Model: Jeep Cherokee
XJ, MK 2
- Years 1984-2001
Replacing the lift pistons of the rear tailgate on a Jeep Cherokee XJ is not particularly difficult. You can purchase them at a low price (between £8 and £16 per piston, depending on the brand) from common e-commerce platforms. Start by moving the clip that holds the pin, located on the rear pillar. Once the pin is removed, the piston comes off easily. Do the same for the part attached to the tailgate. At this point, simply position the new piston in its upper housing; it is always easier to fit new parts than to remove the old ones, especially since new models usually fit in a bayonet style. Proceed in the same manner for the second piston. The job is complete.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?
To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube. by ScegliAuto More videos
