'94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited: Ball Bearing falling off

'94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited:
Had the front end replaced and the transmission rebuilt less then a yea ago.
Jeep has been driving just fine until Friday 7/16'10 when I was backing out of a stall there was a metal clanking sound and I noticed that something had fallen off. Upon recovering the item noticed it was a large ball bearing. Drove home (very slow) with a noise that sounded like the rod was gonna go through the block. Upon arriving at home and parking in the dive noticed another ball bearing had fallen off just as we were pulling in. Then the next day found the Jeep had rolled itself backwards out of the drive and was sitting in the middle of the street, and found another ball bearing.
What is going on? We now have it back in the drive with the wheels turned and the emerency break on and blocks behind the tires.

95 Jeep Grand Cherokee front end feels like it's fighting either side either way I turn cv shafts are <10k on them...it feels like the front spider gear is stuck

Not familiar with the ZJ, but does it have a locking differential? Do they use limited slip additive in ZJ diff? If so, then its probably due for a fluid change and new additive.

I need to replace the boots on the front c/v joints on my 1998 Jeep Cherokee. Do I have to split the ball joints or is there a faster way

Ball joints can stay in place. I generally disconnect the tie rod end to make it easier to work. You need to remove the axle nut, brake caliper and rotor then the bearing hub. The axle comes through the hole where the hub was. I recommend that you get a rebuilt axle as once dirt gets into the joint it gets unreliable and the price of just the joint is so close to what a reman axle costs, it is worth the $ just in aggravation elimination alone!

Service Engine light on, code is misfire..repaired 4 times, keeps happening, mechanic mystified never saw before...also "groans" going around corners/while turning, kept changing transmission...

Oh, if the car 'groans' around corners, many times this is a wheel bearing going out, not the transmission, especially if you had it rebuilt. One can check the wheel bearing for excessive play by jacking up the front end and wiggling the wheel at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions and 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.

What did the technician replace for the misfire code?

My 2000 Jeep Grand cherokee limited has death wobble. As i drive down the highway and hit a bump the front end shakes like crazy. Not just a little shake but it feels like the front end is about to fall...

Anything from improper wheel torque, combined play in several otherwise "good" linkage components or bushings can play a part in death wobble. Changing the caster angle more positive is a good idea but you need to pay close attention to the pinion angle as you do that in order to keep the driveshaft from binding at the joint..Neither shocks or stabilizer will fix the problem though the stabilizer may serve to hide it for a short time. I don't see how it costs more than 400 to replace the ball joints though...Gold plated? 475 would be fair. Miles have nothing to do with how good the ball joints are. they need to be checked.
Alignment is critical as a height change alters front end geometry.
Good luck

I have a 94 cherokee limited 5.2 v8. which transmissions are come

The 46rh is a hydraulic transmission as where the 46re is an electric transmission. With minor wiring you can replace the 46re with the 46rh but not the other way around. Your transmission would stay in limp mode and wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear. So the answer is no.
