1999 Jeep Cherokee Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Part Numbers & Diagrams

Let me tell you something about ordering parts for a 1999 Jeep Cherokee. You get the wrong control arm bushing because the online listing didn’t match your VIN. Now the job’s stalled, customer’s calling, and you’re eating the cost. That stops when you use a factory Jeep Cherokee Parts Catalog. This is the same 393-page document the dealership parts counter uses. No guesswork, no aftermarket cross-referencing that lands you a Dana 35 part when you needed a Corporate 8.25. I’ve torqued enough control arms on these XJs to know the difference matters.

Front Suspension & Drive: Upper and Lower Control Arms (Fig. 2-110)

Group 2 opens with the front suspension. Fig. 2-110 breaks down every nut, bolt, and bushing for the upper and lower control arms. Need the M14x2.00×110 bolt for the LCA clevis? Part number 34201334. The clevis itself? 52000532. There’s also the caster and pinion angle shims – 9mm thick (52000234) and 4mm thick (52003976). That’s the kind of detail you don’t get from a generic parts website. You order the right shim the first time.

Axle Differentials: Dana and Corporate Axle Coverage

Group 3 covers the rear axle assembly – Corporate 8.25 (Fig. 3-110), Dana 35C/194MM (Fig. 3-120), and Dana 44/226MM (Fig. 3-230). Each figure lists every internal part: bearings, seals, ring and pinion, Trac-Lok differential components. If you’re rebuilding a rear end, this manual saves you the headache of measuring spline counts blind. Front axle differential is Group 2, Fig. 2-610. All factory part numbers, all verified.

Brake System Parts: Front and Rear Brakes, Master Cylinder

Group 5 covers service brakes. Front brakes (Fig. 5-110) include calipers, pads, rotors. Rear brakes (Fig. 5-210) are the 9-inch x 2.5-inch drum setup. Master cylinder (Fig. 5-410) and the hydraulic control unit (Fig. 5-510) for ABS-equipped trucks. And yes, the brake lines and hoses are split by LHD, RHD, with and without anti-lock. That matters when you’re replacing a rusted line on a Cherokee that’s seen 20 Texas summers.

Cooling System: Radiator and Water Pump for 2.5L, 4.0L, and Diesel

Group 7 separates radiators by engine: 4.0L (Fig. 7-120), 2.5L gas (Fig. 7-130), 2.5L diesel (Fig. 7-140). Water pump assemblies for each engine, coolant recovery bottles for LHD and RHD, drive pulleys, and the charge air cooler for the diesel. If you’re swapping a radiator, you know exactly which part number to grab instead of relying on “will fit” listings.

VIN Plate Decoding: How to Identify Your Cherokee’s Build

Page 1 of the catalog gives you the VIN plate decoding information. That’s the key to narrowing down suspension codes (SDA for normal duty, SDB for heavy duty) and axle identifiers. If you don’t decode the VIN first, you’re guessing. I’ve seen guys order a Dana 44 carrier for a Dana 35 because they didn’t check. This manual puts that data right up front.

One more thing: this is a genuine OEM factory parts catalog. Not a reprint, not a scan of a scan. The part numbers are the same ones Jeep used in 1999. For related models, check the 1994-1996 Jeep Parts Catalog or the Jeep Wrangler Cherokee Grand Cherokee 1991-1993 Parts Catalog. Need earlier Cherokee? The Jeep Cherokee XJ 1997 Parts Catalog – Front Suspension covers that. For industry context, the Automotive Industry Overview gives background on OEM standards, and Automotive Battery is a separate topic but if you’re chasing electrical gremlins, you’ll want the right battery cables too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover the 2.5L diesel engine?

Yes. Group 7 includes radiator, water pump, and charge air cooler for the 2.5L diesel.

Are torque specs included in a parts catalog?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities, not torque values or repair procedures. For torque specs you need the factory service manual for the 1999 Cherokee. But the parts catalog tells you exactly which bolt to order if you strip one.

Can I use this for a 1998 Cherokee?

Most parts carry over, but verify VIN-specific items like suspension and axle variants. The catalog is for 1999 model year. Some parts changed between 1998 and 1999; check the VIN decoding section.

How are part numbers organized in the manual?

Each figure (e.g., Fig. 2-110) has an item number, part number, quantity, and line/series/body/engine/trans/trim notes. Items marked AR (as required) mean the quantity varies by build.

If you work on these Cherokees, you need the factory reference. Stop guessing, stop returning wrong parts. Access the Factory Manual and get the right part number every time.
