2006 Jeep Wrangler break question?

Favorite Answer

Spend a few extra bucks and get a good set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors with semi-metallic pads. The cross drilling and slotting reduce heat that cause the rotors to warp. The warped rotors of course is why the whole Jeep shakes. You can find a good set of rotors and semi-metallic pads on Ebay>motors>parts and accessories>car & truck parts
You could keep buying and having the rotors turned when they get warped but that only causes them to warp faster. Cheaper to go this route of buying the crossed drilled and slotted rotors in the long run. All jeeps have poor rotors and warp easily if they are the basic rotor.
Also, he rain and water can help cause they can wash away any brake dust. The drilled and slotted rotors also help vent away any dust that does come from brakes.
Have the rubber line and calipers also checked or replace if money isn't an issue. The rubber line can colapse causing the fluid not to return keeping the caliper tight against the rotor. Sometimes just taking off the caliper and then pushing the piston back in can cause them to work better. The piston can get wedged so to speak at a slight angle where it was not pushed in correctly before. Reason for making sure it is completely seated before installing pads....Show more

Have them checked for runout again. Also, have them check the calipers to see if they are returning freely when you let off the brakes. Dragging calipers can cause warping.
If they are warped again I would bite the bullet an put a set of aftermarket high quailty rotors on....Show more

you need to have your rotors turned. but if your mechanic says they can't be turned because they are past spec. you need to buy new rotors....Show more
