Jeep® Grand Cherokee 2002

Suspension
Grand Cherokee’s three-link rear suspension and refined front suspension with Quadra-Coil™ offers a more stable, car-like feel with a smooth ride and reduced body lean, while enhancing its off-road capability.
The suspension helps to reduce unsprung weight, while its hydro-formed tubular front and rear control arms are five times stiffer than the previous design. Coil springs are used for all four wheels while standard 17-inch wheels and tyres on Limited and Overland contribute to a comfortable ride and better handling.
The steering system, with repositioned linkages for better steering feel and response throughout all speed ranges, improves on-centre feel.
The proven recirculating-ball power steering system has a steering gear that gives the driver a car-like "rack-and-pinion feel", comparable to sport saloons.
The integrated anti-lock braking system with electronic brake
distribution (EBD) is lighter and less complex than previous
systems while providing quieter operation, less pedal pulsation,
reduced fade and improved front/rear balance. It also has
the largest brake discs in the 4x4 segment.
