Handling

Tuned for superior ride, handling and noise reduction, the 2009 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 that allows the front suspension to compress and expand further, making rock climbing a breeze by articulating the wheels to help you keep moving
  • Lower spring rates that help provide better on- and off-road ride and best-in-class articulation[1]
  • Best-in-class turning diameter[1] and confident steering precision, thanks to a robust, cross-link geometry - the stiffest possible linkage system in a solid axle platform

  • Monotube Shock Absorbers

    Tuneable Monotube Shock Absorbers have a proprietary Low Speed Tunable (LST) 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.

  • Hill Start Assist

    Hill Start Assist (HSA) 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.
