There are a lot of variables in determining which front end parts will wear out first, and no real sure-fire way to make a definitive call. However, there are some very loose general operating conditions that might cause certain parts to wear out before others. The following are only examples, and only might be indicative of what could fail next, not certain:

If this was mostly street driven on smooth roads, but with lots of curves, the tie rod ends will probably wear out faster than other parts.

If it's mostly smooth roads but it was driven hard around corners a lot (I'm guilty of this) your sway bar links can go. On my 2002 TJ I replaced three sway bar links before replacing any other components.

If it was used a lot off road with a lot of rock crawling or lots of frame twisting-type maneuvers, your control arm bushings and track bar bushings can wear faster, but that will also be dependent on things like heat, how dirty and what kind of dirt, whether they used lots of salt/chemicals on the roads where it was driven, etc.

If it was driven on roads with lots of pot holes, or used extensively off road in general, all bets are off, and anything could be the next thing to go.

In short, the best thing to do is regular visual inspections. Generally speaking, most of your bushings will be easily visible, and will be pretty obvious if they are wearing out. You'll see cracking, shrinkage, or chunks missing. For inspecting beyond just the visual, put the front up on jack stands and move things around checking for play. You want the key in the ignition and turned to allow the steering wheel to move freely.

Do Jeep Grand Cherokees have independent suspension?

The Grand Cherokee uses an all-new architecture, with front and rear independent suspensions. An available air suspension will enable the driver to lower the vehicle for access and raise it to a 11.3-inch maximum ground clearance.

Do Jeep Grand Cherokees have struts or shocks?

Since there are four generations of the Grand Cherokee, older models use shocks and modern ones are fitted with struts.

What is air suspension on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

In short, the Jeep Quadra-Lift Air Suspension works like this. Rather than using traditional coil springs located at each wheel, like most vehicles do, the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension employs air springs. The air springs allow for the vehicle to be raised or lowered across a span of 4.1 inches (104 mm).

How long do struts last on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Struts and shocks may need to be replaced anywhere between 50k and 100k miles. If at any time the struts or shocks are leaking, broken, or damaged, they should be replaced immediately.
