What did help was losing the Teves calipers and replacing them with
the Akebono ones.
http://www.wjjeeps.com/brakes.htm
After one of the rubber piston boots burned off on my Teves calipers
back in January, I took the plunge and installed the Akebono caliper
kit along with two new rotors from the dealership. And I used a
torque wrench. The brakes have been well behaved for about 20K miles.
My only complant is that the pads from the kit are dusty as all get
out.
