Jeep Wrangler Suspension and Handling Info
Handling
Tuned for superior ride, handling and noise reduction, the 2011 Jeep® Wrangler's five-link solid axle front and rear suspensions deliver excellent articulation and durability for off-road activity with much-improved on-road ride and handling for optimum highway driving.
Furthermore, Wrangler vehicles offer:
- Electronic sway bar disconnect ? allows the front suspension to compress and expand further, making rock climbing a breeze
- Lower spring rates that improve on- and off-road ride
- Best-in-class articulation[1]
- Best-in-class turning diameter[1]
- Confident steering precision
- Robust, cross-link front suspension geometry ? the stiffest possible linkage system in a solid axle platform
- Monotube Shock Absorbers
Tunable Monotube Shock Absorbers have a proprietary Low Speed Tunable valve technology that is firm at low speed for improved feel on the rocks and a relaxed feel at higher speed for optimum highway driving.
- ALL-NEW Hill Descent Control
Hill Descent control with grade sensing allows a smooth and controlled hill descent on rough or slippery terrain without the driver needing to touch the brake pedal. This system applies the brakes to each wheel individually when needed to reduce forward motion while negotiating down steep grades.
- Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist assists drivers when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill by maintaining the level of brake pressure applied for a short period after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal. If throttle is not applied within a short period after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal, brake pressure will be released.
