Grand cherokee WJ disc warping
Discussion
Have there been any reports of the front disc's warping on the post 2002 Cherokee's after the upgrade ? Mines a 2004.
Maybe I'm imagining it, but I thought I "sense" a little vibration on the brake peddle when braking. MOT guy says it needs new pads soon but disc's were OK (as in a MOT pass ok), so while I'm there I could pop in new disc's too.
Thanks

Went to fit the new pads yesterday only to find Euro car parts sent me the wrong items !!
Got to send them back today, but it did allow me to check the disc's and notice a little wear developing, but also some heavy rust on the outer edges. Not light surface stuff, but like its been at the bottom of the ocean type rust.
There 5 years and 40K miles old anyway. So I've ordered new Padgid disc's as well for £60.
Hope there here for next weekend, its getting a bit cold working outside now.

Well Euro-car parts don't seem to have another part number for these pads, so I'm just getting a refund. Have to shop elsewhere for the correct pads.
Now I'm worried the disc's I've ordered from them will not be correct ?
When Jeep upgraded the Front brakes in 2002, was it just the calliper's that changed or the disc's as well ?
Thanks

I may have to go to Jeep if Euro car parts fail again.
From what I've read on the net they only talk of new style calliper's for the 2002 models onwards or being retro fitted to older WJ's, no mention of different size discs (Or Rotors as the say over the pond).
They say the Callipers caused the Rotors to warp, not that the rotors were bad design.

Had a result at the Euro car parts dealer last night. Got my refund for the wrong pads, told him the problem so he searched his system and found the correct ones, which he had in stock !!
Plus he checked and there is only 1 part number listed for the disc's, so the ordered items should be correct when they arrive.
Much more help than their customer service phone line.
