A leaf spring suspension system with dual ac-

Front Suspension
Two leaf springs and dual action shock absorb-
ers are used in the front suspension. A track
bar and stabilizer bar complete the front sus-
pension components.
Rear Suspension
Two leaf springs and dual action shock absorb-
ers are used in the rear suspension. A track bar
forms the remainder of the rear suspension
components.
Track Bars
The front and rear track bars are attached to
brackets on the axle and frame rail. The track
bars maintain lateral positioning of the front and
rear axles.
Front Stabilizer Bar
A stabilizer bar is used only at the front suspen-
sion on Wrangler/YJ models. Rubber bushings
are used at the bar attaching points on the
frame rails and front axle.
Shock Absorbers
Dual action, telescopic shock absorbers are
used to control front and rear leaf spring action.
One shock absorber is used for each spring.
Rubber bushings and grommets are used at all
shock absorber mounting points.
