Q re parts buying - which year do I go for?

[Viperchick]

Hi all,

Quick question - I've a Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd manufactured in '96, which on my rego papers says it's a '97 model. (It's a ZG model.)

So, do I buy parts for a '96 vehicle or a '97 vehicle?? Pretty confused!!!

Any advice would be helpful!
Thanks,
V

ZG (or as known in the USA as a ZJ) Changed somewhat in 96, exactly when I'm not sure. So far the only things that I have found have been the electronics all other parts have been interchangable.

Thanks for that Hunno. Much appreciated!

Hi V,
Your individual parts are usually numbered/coded, so match your new part numbers to the one removed. Jeep dealers will normally ask for your Vin. No. from your rego papers to match up spare parts needed.................
