Jeep Cherokee Liberty KJ 2002-2007 Front Left Exterior Door Handle 55360333AF
Jeep Cherokee Liberty KJ 2002-2007 Front Left Exterior Door Handle 55360333AF
On a UK right-hand-drive Jeep Cherokee KJ, the left-hand front door is the near-side / N/S / front passenger door.
Some overseas catalogues describe the left side as the driver's side because those vehicles are left-hand drive. Do not choose the part using the words "driver side" alone. Always identify the side while sitting in the vehicle facing forwards.

The handle mounts through the outer skin of the front-left door. Pulling the exterior handle transfers mechanical movement through the internal linkage to the door latch, allowing the door to open from outside.
The pictured version incorporates the opening/location for the mechanical lock-cylinder arrangement. This handle is not the electric central-locking actuator or door-control module.
The Cherokee/Liberty KJ is a 5-door SUV body when the rear tailgate is counted: four passenger doors plus the rear access door/tailgate. The reference photographs below show the correct KJ-generation body shape covering the fitment period.

The exterior handle gives the user the mechanical input required to release the front-left door latch. When the handle is pulled, its internal lever/linkage moves the latch connection inside the door. Once the latch releases from the body striker, the door can be opened.
The lock-cylinder area allows the mechanical locking arrangement to be integrated where the vehicle is equipped accordingly. The exterior pull handle itself should not be confused with the electric lock actuator, wiring or control electronics located elsewhere inside the door.
A failed exterior handle can eventually leave the vehicle door unable to open from outside. Correct diagnosis is important because similar symptoms can also arise from a broken linkage clip, connecting rod or latch mechanism.
A serviceable factory-original component was engineered around the vehicle's original mounting geometry, latch travel, linkage positions and exterior fit. This can be especially useful on an older vehicle where maintaining the original fit and operating geometry is important.
Designed around the KJ door, fixings and latch arrangement.
Factory-specification mounting dimensions can reduce uncertainty compared with poorly matched alternatives.
A recycled factory part can make keeping an older vehicle on the road more economical.
Reusing a serviceable component keeps an existing manufactured part in circulation.
Replacement-part quality varies between manufacturers, so buyers should compare the specification, construction and fitment evidence rather than assuming every alternative component is identical.

Customers must ensure the delivery address entered at eBay checkout is complete and correct. For transaction security and seller-protection reasons, we cannot simply redirect an order to a different address after checkout. If there is an address problem, contact us immediately through eBay Messages so the correct eBay-compliant solution can be followed.
Considerable fitment information, part-number references, actual-item photographs, vehicle-generation photographs and a compatibility chart have been provided to make identification as clear as possible.
Returns are handled through the applicable eBay return process and seller-protection rules. Where eBay permits a seller deduction because an item has been returned in a condition that has caused an actual reduction in value — for example through use, alteration or damage — an eligible deduction may be made in accordance with eBay's rules. There is no automatic restocking charge simply because a return is opened.
Please return the component complete, unmodified and in the same physical condition in which it was supplied, with any identifying marks intact.
Every serviceable vehicle component that can be responsibly reused represents an opportunity to make better use of a product that has already been manufactured. Keeping suitable existing parts in circulation can reduce unnecessary demand for replacement manufacturing, packaging and the premature disposal of serviceable material.
Buying from ThePartPilot also supports an independent automotive-parts business whose focus is identifying, storing and supplying components that can help keep existing vehicles economically repairable. We appreciate every order and aim to provide enough information for you to choose the correct component first time.
Components are prepared for shipment with the aim of protecting vulnerable mounting points, housings and connections during transportation. Packaging methods vary according to the size, weight and shape of the individual component.
Match the part number and actual photographs with the component on your vehicle. If anything differs, please ask us through eBay Messages before placing the order.
