Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee Brake Parts

For pavement and mild wheeling, Jeeps leave the factory ready to go. If you've got the off-road bug, chances are you've started upgrading. Suspension lifts with heavy duty coils, low gearing and off-road, winch-ready bumpers are a must if you're kicking it up and hitting the bogs and primitive trails. Oversized tires and sway bars enable better articulation and prevent drooping. Modifications take jeeping to a whole new level, but they also add weight to your rig.

Brake Wear
One of the best parts of owning a Jeep is customizing and upgrading to optimize capabilities. The added weight and extreme terrain take a toll on stock parts, so replacing the factory installed ATE/Teves with 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Akebono calipers boost brake performance. ATE factory brakes are reliable for everyday street use and the occasional dirt road, but bigger tires, wheel travel and tow accessories cause the brake pad to shift; this is often due to a broken retaining clip.

Rear Brakes
For standard road use, smooth brake rotors are sufficient for the occasional emergency stop as they provide the most surface area for the brake pads to connect and do their job. However, heavy use causes the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear brakes and rotors to overheat and warp. Slotted brake rotors provide an escape route for the gases and dust that forms as a result of frequent heavy braking. If strange noises are coming from the wheels, it's time to check the brake components. If the pistons for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear brake caliper are stuck, the pads and rotors will quickly wear down.

Replacement Parts
Replacement brake pads can be inexpensive and easily changed. However, if you wait too long and the pads wear down, replacing the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee brakes and rotors is a costly, time-consuming project.
