Want this question answered?
right to left? NO. for another jeep, same generation, yes
depends on the size of the engine and the components that come with it.
each rearend is esentially the same but the suspensions are very different. you CAN swap them out. but they will not be bolt on. you have to cut tabs and perches off of the Cherokee rear and replace them with grand Cherokee mounts and perches. you will have to grind and weld and so on. VERY big job. just find a grand Cherokee rear end with the same gear ratio and you will be fine
The answer is yes. They have the same bolt pattern which is 5x4.5"....so practically you can interchange rims between Cherokees from 1986 or '87 with newer Cherokee's and grand Cherokee's until they changed the body style(1999 I think)
yes.
If the cubic inch is the same the motors should swap out ok. You will have to change some parts but most Chevy motors will swap.
No, it will not. When Chrysler built the 1999-2004 WJ Grand Cherokee it had a different bolt pattern than the 1993-1998 ZJ Grand Cherokee. The Jeeps that can interchange wheels with one another are the Cherokee (84-01), the Commanche, Wrangler (87-06), Liberty (02-07), and the Grand Cherokee (93-98). The two redesign Grand Cherokees since 99 have the same bolt pattern so a 99-04 Grand Cherokee can swap wheels with a 05+, as well as a 06+ Commander. I think the new Wrangler (07+) can too.
If you can find driveshafts to match the yokes.
Yes
Not as a direct swap. It was never offered in that year. But anything is possible for enough money.
Yes, internally the engine is the exact same. The electronics or accessories may be different, but you just use the stuff from the 1996 engine.
Why would you need to? The rear differential will be the same, only the transfer case will be different. :)
