Jeep Suspension
The Jeep Suspension links the wheels of your Jeep to its frame giving smooth
handling and ride quality. Ball joints, bushings, lift kits and lowering kits,
shocks and struts, springs, steering parts, steering stabilizers, sway bars and
anti-sway bars, tie rods and tie rod ends makes up your Jeep Suspension system.
The Jeep Cherokee Suspension and Jeep Wrangler Suspension system for example has
two basic functions: to keep its wheels in firm contact with the road and to provide
a comfortable ride for the passengers. A lot of the system's work is done by the
springs.
Under normal conditions, the springs of your Jeep Suspension support the body
of the vehicle evenly by compressing and rebounding with every up-and-down movement.
These undesirable effects of up-and-down movement causing bouncing and swaying
after each bump is very uncomfortable to the passenger but are reduced by the
shock absorbers. For those who prefer the sportier, firm ride of a sports car
for their Jeep Wrangler why not put some beefy sway bars in your Jeep Wrangler
Suspension? It's a great way of improving the handling and performance of your
Jeep Wrangler. Try to purchase the front sway bar and the 1" sway bar for the
rear.
The sway bars usually come with the appropriate mounting brackets and bushings.
Installation is a snap and is basically a bolt on process. For added performance,
substitute the bushings that come with the sway bars with Energy Suspension polyurethane
greasable bushings. These bushings are superior in that they are firmer than the
stock rubber bushings. These firm bushings allow the sway bar to respond better
to lateral forces imposed on the sway bar. The fittings on the mounting brackets
allow for easy greasing of the bushings. Sway bars combined with the Energy Suspension
bushings firmed up the ride quite a bit. Emergency lane changes are more responsive.
