I have a 93 Jeep Cherokee and what we've found is that we can never find the right part, even from the dealer. Chrysler seems to have a really bad part inventory on this model. What we've done is to call Chrysler directly and ask customer service for the part number and then look for the part that way. I don't know how to change it, but we found a very good mechanic in Los Angeles, CA. Good luck
