Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee 1991 Parts Catalog

Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, Cherokee 1991 Parts Catalog – that’s what I call the only way to order the right part the first time. I’ve seen guys order a stabilizer bar link three times because they guessed the VIN code or used some generic parts list from a forum. This factory OEM catalog kills that guesswork cold. It’s 1073 pages of part numbers, exploded diagrams, and identification data straight from Jeep’s engineering group. No aftermarket interpretation – just the original document used by dealer parts counters.

1073 Pages of OEM Part Numbers

Every page in this catalog drills down into a specific system. The General Information section alone – starting at page INF-1 – breaks down how to read VIN plates, body codes, and sales codes. You need to identify which Dana axle you’ve got on a 1992 Wrangler YJ? Flip to the Numerical Index on page INF-5, find the axle group, and land on Figure 2-800 for the front axle assembly. That’s the factory procedure for matching part numbers to your specific build. I’ve used this exact document to pull part numbers for customers whose Jeeps were built in the middle of a model-year change. Works every time.

Does This Catalog Cover Your Jeep?

Three models, one binder: Wrangler (YJ), Cherokee (XJ), and Grand Cherokee (ZJ). All model years 1991 through 1993. The catalog splits front suspension and drive into Group 2 with separate figure sets for each model. For example, Figure 2-100 covers the front stabilizer bar for Wrangler YJ, while Figure 2-200 covers the same bar for Cherokee, Briarwood, Comanche, and Grand Cherokee (ZJ). If you’re working on a 1993 Grand Cherokee, you need the ZJ-specific control arms and track bar from Figure 2-550. The catalog includes that. No need to cross-reference a Chilton book that lumps everything together.

Front Suspension & Drive: Axle Variations

Group 2 goes deep into front axle assemblies. Wrangler gets its own Dana 35 and Dana 44 KDX figures – Figure 2-900 shows the housing with axle disconnect, Figure 2-950 without. Cherokee and Grand Cherokee share some figures, but note the distinction: Figure 2-1200 covers the front axle assembly for 4WD Cherokee, Briarwood, Comanche, and Grand Cherokee (ZJ). Two-wheel drive versions have their own housing in Figure 2-1500. If you’re rebuilding a front axle on a 1991 Cherokee with the disconnect system, the shafts are under Figure 2-1800. Aftermarket catalogs often merge these into one generic drawing. This catalog splits them by VIN code and option.

Do not trust aftermarket PDFs.

Why Aftermarket Parts Catalogs Fail

I’ve had more parts returns than I can count because a third-party list showed the wrong bearing set for a Dana 35 rear axle. This catalog lists the exact Dana Model 35 housing and differential figures – Figure 3-200 through 3-400 for Wrangler, Figures 3-500 through 3-900 for Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. It also includes the Chrysler 8 1/4 axle used in some Cherokees (Figure 3-450). The difference between locking and non-locking differentials is clearly separated in Figures 3-700 and 3-800. You don’t get that from a photocopied manual that was scanned at 72 dpi. This is the original Jeep Parts Catalog Revision Service document – the same binder that dealerships paid for. The General Information section explains how to decode body codes and option packages so you order the right part for a California-emissions Grand Cherokee versus a federal one.

If you’re rebuilding a Wrangler front axle with the KDX disconnect, the shafts in Figure 2-1150 are different from the standard disconnect type (Figure 2-1100). The catalog footnotes the difference. I’ve seen guys strip threads because they assumed a generic aftermarket axle seal would fit. Not with this catalog in your tool box.

So You Need to Order Parts: Read This Section

The “How To Use Catalog” page inside General Information shows you the Part Group numbering system. Each part number is tied to a figure that shows its exact location and relationship to other components. Use the Alphabetical Index to find terms like “stabilizer bar” or “axle shaft.” Then cross-reference with the Numerical Index to the exact figure and part number. It sounds like extra steps, but it beats calling a parts supplier three times because you guessed the wrong suffix letter on a bolt.

Does this catalog include part numbers for the Dana 35 rear axle?

Yes, Figures 3-500 through 3-900 cover Dana 35 axle assembly, housing, differential, and shafts for Cherokee, Briarwood, Grand Cherokee, and Comanche.

Can I use this to identify parts for a 1992 Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L V8?

Absolutely. The catalog covers all 1991-1993 Grand Cherokee models on the ZJ platform. The Engine Group Contents (page INF-32) references the 5.2L V8 part groups. For front axle, Figure 2-1200 applies to the 4WD Grand Cherokee, and Figure 2-550 includes control arms and track bar specific to the ZJ. Cross-reference your VIN’s body code and sales code from the General Information section to ensure you get the correct part numbers for your option level. The locking differential figure for the rear Dana 35 (Figure 3-800) is also present if your Grand Cherokee has that option.

If you’re tired of returning parts or waiting on dealer hold times because you used an aftermarket list, get the document that factory parts counter employees used. Access the Factory Manual – it’s the 1073-page original PDF that will sit in your shop laptop or printed binder for every ’91-93 Jeep job.
